[worn tundra]

You should just the Material enum (ItemStack.getType) and turn that to a string (Material.toString), then do the rest

[winged birch]

Thanks! I did it as follows, don't know if this is the proper way of doing it

    @EventHandler
    public void onOreDestroyed(BlockBreakEvent e) {
        var pickaxes = Arrays.asList(
                Material.NETHERITE_PICKAXE,
                Material.DIAMOND_PICKAXE,
                Material.GOLDEN_PICKAXE,
                Material.IRON_PICKAXE,
                Material.WOODEN_PICKAXE);

        var itemInMainHand = e.getPlayer()
                .getInventory()
                .getItemInMainHand()
                .getType();

        if (e.getPlayer().getGameMode() == GameMode.SURVIVAL
            && pickaxes.contains(itemInMainHand)) {
            e.getPlayer().sendMessage("You a pickaxe equipped");
        }
    }

[worn tundra]

ItemStack item = e.getPlayer().getInventory().getItemInMainHand();
final boolean isPickaxe = item.getType().toString().toLowerCase().contains("pickaxe");

Would've also worked

[winged birch]

awesome, I like yours better, thanks!

[eternal oxide]

if (Tag.MINEABLE_PICKAXE.isTagged(itemInMainHand)) {...```

type not the actual item

[winged birch]

so like this?

        Tag.MINEABLE_PICKAXE.isTagged(e.getPlayer().getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getType());

[eternal oxide]

yes

[winged birch]

thank you!

[eternal oxide]

oh no sorry wrong tag, thats for blocks mineable BY a pickaxe 😦

you will have to use Septicuss version

[winged birch]

gotcha, thanks for the explanation

[tardy delta]

just check if the type of the mainhand item, the name from that ends with "_PICKAXE"

ah i see ElgarL has smth too

[tender shard]

no well I meant, it doesn't provide the data in the "PDC" format. his lib also uses PDC to store information but doesn't allow you to retrieve it as a PDC container

[eternal oxide]

are you trying to simulate teh breaking of a block?

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#sendBlockDamage(org.bukkit.Location,float)

it won't break teh block, it will display the cracking effect on it

[quaint mantle]

Im trying to cancel an event outside of the event handler but to no sucess, is this possible, as im trying to have a switch case statement inside my runnable and have the checks in there.

[tardy delta]

yes?

well

[subtle folio]

pass the event as an argument

[tardy delta]

assuming that youre cancelling the event the same tick

[quaint mantle]

Let me proviide some code

[tardy delta]

otherwise youre cancelling an old event

wouldnt make sense either

[subtle folio]

canceling on move is so cringe

it’s so buggy

[quaint mantle]

                        new ShieldReactions<>(event.getDamager(), player, itemStack, EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause.SONIC_BOOM, event);

    private class ShieldReactions<E extends EntityDamageByEntityEvent> extends BukkitRunnable {


event.setCancelled(true);

[tardy delta]

lol

[quaint mantle]

Its snipits but theres nothing really else important

[tardy delta]

i hope youre cancelling it the same tick

[quaint mantle]

I am

Wait.. i may not be 2 secs

[tardy delta]

i guess we need to see more code lol

[quaint mantle]

        public ShieldReactions(Entity attacker, Player player, ItemStack itemStack, EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause damageCause, E event) {

            this.attacker = attacker;
            this.player = player;
            this.heldItem = itemStack;
            this.damageCause = damageCause;
            this.event = event;

            runTaskTimer(moreShields, 16, 20);

        }

Heres the constructor, i have a feeling due to the 16 tick delay im not cancelling it in the same tick -_- big derp

[tardy delta]

no lol

[quaint mantle]

Thought as much

[tardy delta]

you are passing an event instance which is already handled ig

[quaint mantle]

cheers

[tardy delta]

and you shouldnt really be extending bukkitrunnable and then calling runTaskTimer in the constructor :/

[quaint mantle]

What would you suggest

[tardy delta]

either call runTaskTimer outside or use the scheduler internally to run this::somethingToRun

[quaint mantle]

Sorted, thank you.

[tardy delta]

class SomTask implement Runnable {
  SomeTask() { Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(plugin, this, delay) }
  void run() {}
}```smth like this

i still recommend the first thing

[quaint mantle]

So new ShieldReactions<>(event.getDamager(), player, itemStack, EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause.SONIC_BOOM, event).runTaskTimer(plugin, delay, ticks);

[tardy delta]

yes..

[quaint mantle]

Thats what i thought

ok just making sure 😛

[wild reef]

Hey guys, am I doing something wrong?

GameProfile gameProfile = ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().getGameProfile();
Property property = (Property) gameProfile.getProperties().get("textures").toArray()[0];

        String signature = property.getSignature();
        String texture = property.getValue();

        npc.getGameProfile().getProperties().put("textures", new Property("textures", texture, signature));

I wanted to create a npc with the same skin as I have, but for some reason it appears with a different one, not a default steve or alex one tho

[lethal roost]

event doesn't seem to be firing (message isn't showing up in console) whenever i press Q to drop an item, any idea why?

    public void onItemDrop(EntityDropItemEvent event) {
        Player player = (Player) event.getEntity();
        ItemStack droppedItem = event.getItemDrop().getItemStack();
        Material configMaterial = Material.valueOf(config.getString("material"));

        Bukkit.getLogger().info("entity drop item event fired");
    }```

[eternal oxide]

did you try clearing the old properties first?

[harsh matrix]

Can anyone recommend me a library for creating GUIs

[hushed spindle]

i keep getting this error when building my project, is this something i should worry about? all the overlappings come from my own plugin so i dont understand whats happening lol

maven-shade-plugin has detected that some class files are
present in two or more JARs. When this happens, only one
single version of the class is copied to the uber jar.

[smoky oak]

shouldnt that be a warning instead of an error?

how do you make that an error

[tardy delta]

just ignore

[hushed spindle]

Kody Simpson's GUI manager was very useful to me

oh yeah sorry its a warning

its just that im not sure if i should worry about it apparently overlapping 1600 classes or so

[wild reef]

oh no I didn't, just by clearing the properties map right?

[eternal oxide]

try it and see?

[harsh matrix]

could you give me a link?

[sterile token]

?trysee

[covert karma]

how do i enchant block-items? when trying to add an enchant it says that this enchant cant be applied to that item
is it only possible with packets?

(just the glint effect i mean)

[hushed spindle]

https://youtu.be/qyEakJkQHIY

[hushed spindle]

you should be able to add enchantments to blocks just fine with addEnchantmentUnsafe

or addUnsafeEnchantment i dont remember

and just apply a HIDE_ENCHANTMENTS flag to the item

[smoky oak]

do you have to use unsafe to bypass the normal limits?

[covert karma]

ah yeah unsafe works thanks

[hushed spindle]

yeah

if you just do addEnchantment i believe it cant go above like efficiency 5 for example

[wild reef]

String signature = property.getSignature();
        String texture = property.getValue();
        npc.getGameProfile().getProperties().get("textures").clear();
        npc.getGameProfile().getProperties().put("textures", new Property("textures", texture, signature));

Tried it like this - if you meant that, which doesn't work

[eternal oxide]

No clue then. It was just a suggestion.

[covert karma]

can i make mobs have more reach

[hushed spindle]

i think you'd have to do custom entity shenanigans with nms to do that

otherwise no

at least not in a pretty way

i guess you could accomplish it by having a runnable regularly check mobs on the server that have a target and if that target is within a certain distance you can have em attack

[smoky oak]

can someone explain 'clazz'?

[ocean lion]

Is there any specific hub command that is neccessarry to the plugin

[eternal oxide]

clazz is teh variable representaiton of a Class as you can;t use class as a variable name

[wild reef]

I checked the texture and signature. So the texture itself is the same string, but the signature is different, any idea why?

[worldly ingot]

Some people use theClass as well

I've also seen classs

but that one's weird

[eternal oxide]

Wrong signature will result in the texture being rejected

[iron palm]

is there any mojang remapped for 1.19?
Since i cannot get build from a remapped nms

[smoky oak]

harry potter fans

[wild reef]

I'm really confused then, it shows me this skin all the time with different signature and same texture. But that's not mine :D

[eternal oxide]

run buildtools

[iron palm]

i did ... should i do it again ?

[smoky oak]

--remapped

[iron palm]

i've also added that before

[eternal oxide]

did you run it for 1.19?

[smoky oak]

then MANUALLY add the .m2 folder to the project

i had to

[iron palm]

yeah

java -jar BuildTools.jar --rev 1.19 --remapped

[eternal oxide]

no no, please no

[smoky oak]

well it only worked once i did that

sue me

but if i just hit run it errs out

[eternal oxide]

you just need the correct pom

[smoky oak]

'cant find spigot 1.19'

[iron palm]

lemme try this

[eternal oxide]

in the properties section add xml <project.spigotVersion>1.19-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</project.spigotVersion>

[iron palm]

oh i think i forgot this

[eternal oxide]

thats just something I added so you only need set the version in one place

[iron palm]

oh lmao right

[eternal oxide]

so long as you ran buildtools --remapped and it finished with no errors you are good to go

[wild reef]

I think I found the problem. So as it seems, the skin itself is working. But the skin has some kind of overlay which isn't copied, any idea on that?

[eternal oxide]

no clue

[iron palm]

I hoped so but its not... gotta delete the previous datas and rerun the buildtools

[eternal oxide]

a quick google says there is a second layer

[wild reef]

yea found that aswell, just trying to figure out, how to copy that / show that

I see stuff about datawatcher, but no idea where that class comes from

[smoky oak]

PacketPlayOutEntityMetadata

its off by default i think

you need to say that its active

[eternal oxide]

I've found reference to it with GameProfile but the only way they have said to display it is with sending a EntityMetadata packet

send after spawning the npc

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67810920/how-can-i-display-the-second-layer-of-skin-on-an-npc

[wild reef]

Does this come from some other lib or something? Can't find these classes on my ide

[eternal oxide]

I've not used them but I belive they are nms

[iron palm]

ehhhhh worked dunno why but probably because of not having spigot-api dependency anyways thank you

[quaint mantle]

Hey, if i block the chat event and then i let the server write the message, the player was writing, will then the uuid of the player be removed out of the message?

[wild reef]

No idea, I can't find either the packet or datawatcher - which seems to be used together often

Okay I am doing that now as well. It's has a different naming with mojang mapping

ps.send(new ClientboundSetEntityDataPacket(npc.getId(), npc.getEntityData(), true));

but it still doesn't work

[old cloud]

Hi, is anyone familiar with how bungeecord communicates with other servers?

[agile anvil]

What do you understand by communicating ? Do you mean plugin messaging ?

[old cloud]

No, how it generally communicates with servers and clients. What happens if a client connects to the proxy? Where does the client send its packets to? How does a client communicate with the proxy if it is connected to a sub server?

[humble tulip]

https://wiki.vg

[agile anvil]

Well basically Bungee is just a tunnel between the client and a server. The client connects to the bungee instance like if it wanted to connect to a real minecraft server (follow the handshake protocols and go on), then bungee redirect all the traffic to a specified server, and vice versa

[humble tulip]

https://wiki.vg/Protocol

also see
https://wiki.vg/How_to_Write_a_Client

[agile anvil]

So bungee does not really communicate with servers, actually it doesn't. It just copy paste the traffic from the client

[humble tulip]

pretty much

it can communicate with servers using players

[agile anvil]

(well there are some stuff behind but not important)

[ivory sleet]

Yea bungee is in principle one directional in the way it’s designed

It uses player connections for servers to talk back to it

[agile anvil]

Exactly, that's called Plugin Messaging. The server sends a packet to the player, but it first go through bungee so it catches informations like that (players can't even notice cause it's filtered)

(so if there isn't any players, it can't communicate) (except if you make it happen by using sockets, or redis, etc .)

[old cloud]

Does the sub server the player is on communicate directly with the client or do all packets first go through the proxy, which just redirects them?

[humble tulip]

all go thru the proxy which redirects it

[agile anvil]

Everything go through the proxy

So that you can switch servers without getting disconnected

[old cloud]

ok nice, thanks

[agile anvil]

(bungee simulates a world change for that)

[lost matrix]

The whole idea of a proxy is to proxy packets. If client and server could send packets around the proxy then it would be useless.

[old cloud]

ye ok, did not thought about that. I thought the proxy is maybe only responsible for connecting/disconnecting/sending a client to/from/through servers.

[eternal night]

bedrock has stuff for that

java sadly not

for like a full server redirect

tho that feature is pretty hard to implement properly anyway, I think in bedrock it is just a "connect to this ip"

which, eeeek, security loves those

[agile anvil]

Speaking of "connect to this ip".. Log4J... Hopefully it has been patched 🥲

[eternal night]

log4shell is patched since like

december

[ivory sleet]

Yes pretty much very patched

[eternal night]

basically days/hours after it went public

[ivory sleet]

Hey even legacy versions got updated

[agile anvil]

Yep hopefully, cause trust me it was really easy to use

[eternal night]

should have literally not patched 1.8

[lost matrix]

Which did sadden me. Could have been a soft cleanse.

[ivory sleet]

🥲

[eternal night]

people would have at least moved for a maintained 1.8 fork

which, better than unmaintained 1.8

[agile anvil]

Would have been wonderful

[lost matrix]

If i would use 1.8 i would first take some time and fork the heck out of it.
No way im using this version as it is.

Linkage errors could occur

[eternal night]

I hate ?paste

[somber hull]

i feel like this is very unnesscesary

leme explain

[humble tulip]

do i need to also put slf4j in a shaded package?

[agile anvil]

When quoting code, PLEASE ADD JAVA so at least there will be colors

[humble tulip]

since it gets put in the root direcctory of my jarfile

[somber hull]

i did lmao

[agile anvil]

```java

[ivory sleet]

Minion probably

[humble tulip]

would that mess up hikari since hikari shades that in there

[ivory sleet]

Well if it only relies on the api then you might not need to shade it at all

[humble tulip]

i dont have it in my pom

[ivory sleet]

No you shade it in there

[humble tulip]

one sec

[ivory sleet]

But like it’s quite hidden since it’s transitive

You can tho… override it

[humble tulip]

so i dont have to shade it?

[ivory sleet]

Unsure

[somber hull]

If i need to save a spawner type (It doesnt need to be placed so i dont have to edit the blockdata), and other custom variables whats the best way to do that?

[ivory sleet]

But try and see if it’s possible to not have it shaded

[lost matrix]

dataConfig.getPlayerListMap()

You should never expose any data structures (like lists, sets and maps) like that.

[somber hull]

Currently

[humble tulip]

how do i override it then

[ivory sleet]

Add the dependency yourself

Set the scope provided / compile time only

[humble tulip]

ok and put provided

[somber hull]

ik, io made this a long time ago. Im getting it working before i fix all that stuff

its gonna be a lot of work

wow

your very helpful

[lost matrix]

this colon triggers me

[somber hull]

almost as if it did work the first time, and a version change broke it

[ivory sleet]

Tho usually when you write code getting it to work is one thing… then cleaning the code usually takes another iteration per say

[lost matrix]

Btw thats not how you use "factories". Bit misleading this name.

[somber hull]

currently i am deserializing and serializing a spawner using persistant data, and a file

[ivory sleet]

Yep

[somber hull]

Ye as i said i made this a loooong time ago

wait

why wouldnt it be?

[lost matrix]

Honestly. Im at a point where i use a Gson singleton with all my type adapters registered and im just serializing a whole class into the PDC.
This also fixes versioning issues because Gson can handle class model changes.

[humble tulip]

ty, database starts up fine without it

jar size also smaller

[ivory sleet]

Pog

[somber hull]

Well i dont think im using gson but i keep running into an issue where it doesnt know how to serialize certain classes from spigot

im using jackson, how easy is it to switch over

[ivory sleet]

Jackson naming conventions 😵‍💫 but yeah it’s trivial

[somber hull]

well it wouldnt be that hard

i just have one class that needs changing

[lost matrix]

All you need is a serializer for ItemStack and Location.
You can also register a type adapter factory that serializes the Map<String, Object>
if the serialized object is of type ConfigurationSerializable.
But the spigot serialization for ItemStack is a bit ass.

[somber hull]

So how do i get a serializer for ItemStack and Location

[humble tulip]

also item meta?

[somber hull]

Or do you mean make a custom one?

[humble tulip]

and every meta subtype

[somber hull]

Hold up

[humble tulip]

oh wait nvm

i just read what 7smile7 said

[somber hull]

https://github.com/Silent-Program/BetterSpawners
do you think its better to scrap all of the inside logic and redo it?
@lost matrix

And why exactly is the name factory misleading there?

[ivory sleet]

Because it’s a design pattern

When you include the label "Factory" in the name of a class you weakly expose the intention of that the class is gonna follow the design pattern

[humble tulip]

what am i looking at?

[ivory sleet]

So if said class does not follow the pattern you’re gonna end up trolling a bunch of devs

[somber hull]

Got it

The pattern for factory being?

[ivory sleet]

Myes, the factory pattern aims to decouple instantiation from creation

[humble tulip]

ur storing itemstacks?

[ivory sleet]

Which your class there does not really do

[somber hull]

got it

what would it be called then

https://github.com/Silent-Program/BetterSpawners/blob/master/src/main/java/me/silentprogram/betterspawners/api/SpawnerFactory.java

[somber hull]

im in the middle of figuring out the best way to store things

Currently it deserializes all the nesscesary information

and saves it to a file

[humble tulip]

i store items as a byte[]

[somber hull]

and then when i need it again

i just apply it back to a new spawner

[somber hull]

wdym

[humble tulip]

Using BukkitObjectStreams

[lost matrix]

encoded as Strings, scrambled using Base64

[humble tulip]

    public static String serialize(ItemStack[] obj) {
        try (ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
             BukkitObjectOutputStream dataOutput = new BukkitObjectOutputStream(outputStream)) {


            dataOutput.writeInt(obj.length);

            for (int i = 0; i < obj.length; i++) {
                dataOutput.writeObject(obj[i]);
            }
            return Base64Coder.encodeLines(outputStream.toByteArray());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Unable to save item stacks.", e);
        }
    }

    public static ItemStack[] deserialize(String str) {
        try (ByteArrayInputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(Base64Coder.decodeLines(str));
             BukkitObjectInputStream dataInput = new BukkitObjectInputStream(inputStream)) {
            ItemStack[] items = new ItemStack[dataInput.readInt()];

            for (int i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
                items[i] = (ItemStack) dataInput.readObject();
            }

            return items;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return new ItemStack[0];
        }
    }

u can ofc just change ItemStack[] to ItemStack

forget the exception

[somber hull]

well it is a list of itemstacks

[humble tulip]

i copied the class

u can basically copy this as well

[somber hull]

whats Base64Coder?

is that even nessescary?

[humble tulip]

itemstacks get saved as
rO0ABXcEAAAACnBzcgAab3JnLmJ1a2tpdC51dGlsLmlvLldyYXBwZXLyUEfs8RJvBQIAAUwAA21h

that's an itemstack^^

[somber hull]

how tho..

if it has much more data?

Does it just add more numbers ig

[humble tulip]

Base10 has 10 characters for data

[lost matrix]

yes it will get longer ofc

[humble tulip]

base64 has 64

[somber hull]

Is Base64Coder a different class you have

[humble tulip]

no

its a java thing

[somber hull]

Really?

[humble tulip]

base64 strings can store data in less space

[lost matrix]

the byte[] will get longer

[humble tulip]

since it uses more chars

"space"

like a shorter string

[somber hull]

But if i need to grab the values from these itemstacks

[humble tulip]

deserialize them like on player join or whatever

[somber hull]

without needing the whole itemstack

hmm that works

[humble tulip]

an itemstack doesnt rly take up much space

[somber hull]

So make like a map of player to itemstack array?

[humble tulip]

servers have tens of thousands of itemstacks loaded when the server is running

[somber hull]

and change it on join and any other changes that need to be made

[humble tulip]

what exactly are u making?

[somber hull]

i just need to keep track of the spawners a player puts into or takes out of a gui

the spawners also have nbt saved

[humble tulip]

ohh

[somber hull]

through persistentdata

[humble tulip]

nbt data is saved this way

so ur fine

also

see https://github.com/minion325/VariableEnderChests

you can literally store the ItemStack[]

load it on join, save on leave

any changes when player are online can be made to the array

[somber hull]

i forget why i didnt save the itemstacks

i think it was just because i needed the data in the itemstack more than i need it itself

should i just grab the nbt value whenever i need it?

[humble tulip]

is the gui some sort of spawner storage?

[somber hull]

yea

but it generates xp

over time

by storing the last time it generated xp

and doing the math on inventory open

[humble tulip]

that's fine

alterantively, u can create a data class that stores the spawner type, last use, whatever

[somber hull]

wich is what i have now

[humble tulip]

and u read the data array and generate spawners

[somber hull]

Thats exactly what i have now

but its so complicated

[humble tulip]

it shouldnt be

[somber hull]

i feel like it can be much better

[humble tulip]

it's easier to just save the spawners tho

[somber hull]

these are essentially serialize and deserialize

    private ItemStack resetItem(ItemStack item) {
        PersistentDataContainer itemData = item.getItemMeta().getPersistentDataContainer();
        ItemStack items = new SpawnerFactory(plugin,
                EntityType.valueOf(itemData.get(plugin.ENTITY_TYPE_KEY, PersistentDataType.STRING)),
                itemData.get(plugin.MULTIPLIER_KEY, PersistentDataType.INTEGER)
                , itemData.get(plugin.OWNER_KEY, PersistentDataType.STRING),
                itemData.get(plugin.XP_KEY, PersistentDataType.INTEGER),
                itemData.get(plugin.LAST_GEN_KEY, PersistentDataType.LONG)
        ).getSpawner();
        return items;
    }
    
    private List<ItemClass> getItemClassList(List<ItemStack> items) {
        List<ItemClass> itemClassList = new ArrayList<>();
        
        for (ItemStack i : items) {
            PersistentDataContainer itemData = i.getItemMeta().getPersistentDataContainer();
            itemClassList.add(new ItemClass()
                    .setCreatorName(itemData.get(plugin.OWNER_KEY, PersistentDataType.STRING))
                    .setEntityType(itemData.get(plugin.ENTITY_TYPE_KEY, PersistentDataType.STRING))
                    .setMined(itemData.get(plugin.MINED_KEY, PersistentDataType.BYTE) == 1 ? true : false)
                    .setMultiplier(itemData.get(plugin.MULTIPLIER_KEY, PersistentDataType.INTEGER))
                    .setXp(itemData.get(plugin.XP_KEY, PersistentDataType.INTEGER))
                    .setLastGen(itemData.get(plugin.LAST_GEN_KEY, PersistentDataType.LONG)));
        }
        return itemClassList;
    }

[waxen plinth]

Dear god

[humble tulip]

yeah nah

just save the itemstack[]

[somber hull]

alr

[humble tulip]

cuz spawner type etc will be saved with that

[somber hull]

alr

[waxen plinth]

You can save ItemStacks in config

Alternatively I have a library that provides methods to serialize and deserialize items

[humble tulip]

nbt get's converted to base64 and yml files just scream open me and edit

[waxen plinth]

Hence

[humble tulip]

ppl are generally stupid

[humble tulip]

^^

[lost matrix]

Btw are you sure about that? Because i have something like a 25% overhead in my head.

[humble tulip]

compared to the byte[] ye

not sure abt if u convert the byte[] to a String

[lost matrix]

And the encoded String will get bigger (when the underlying data size increases)

[humble tulip]

think the unencoded strings are shorter

[eternal oxide]

a serialized object is WAY smaller than a Base64 encoded one

[twilit roost]

as you can see the black line
that is current Direction in which the ship should be facing
but it doesn't match
any ideas for better working code?

    public static Vector fromRot(float yaw) {
        return new Vector(Math.sin(yaw), 0, Math.cos(yaw));
    }

[humble tulip]

just read more on it yeah it seems to remove convenrt 8bit characters to 6bit so that's a 33% increase in text length

ig i was wrong

i thought it was a way to shrink the string

[humble tulip]

What is the yaw you put in?

[twilit roost]

blue line is direction
red line is Vector from the yaw

[agile anvil]

How do you translate the blocks ?

[twilit roost]

currently its on 0
talking about 2nd photo

[humble tulip]

In the first

[twilit roost]

32 ~

[lost matrix]

Add PI to the yaw and see if it helps

    public static Vector fromRot(float yaw) {
        return new Vector(Math.sin(yaw + Math.PI), 0, Math.cos(yaw + Math.PI));
    }

Hm you might need a modulo in that case...

[agile anvil]

sin(x + pi) is - sin(x)

[twilit roost]

it alligned it self

[lost matrix]

After adding PI?

[humble tulip]

what abt when its 32

[twilit roost]

yep

[lost matrix]

Nice. Now see if it also fixed the other issue

[twilit roost]

ok now it unfixed it self
even in straight position

[lost matrix]

    private static final TWO_PI = Math.PI * 2;

    public static Vector fromRot(float yaw) {
        return new Vector(Math.sin((yaw + Math.PI) % TWO_PI), 0, Math.cos((yaw + Math.PI) % TWO_PI));
    }

Not sure if the java impl does this internally already but you should cap full rotations like that.

[twilit roost]

bfr I used when calling the method
`...(yaw+Math.PI)
and worked

[twilit roost]

sure thx

[humble tulip]

is yaw in degrees or radians?

[twilit roost]

might sound stupid but neither 😄

im addind/decressing 1 when holding A/D

[eternal oxide]

are you trying to calculate teh Vector of rotation about Y for the Yaw?

[eternal night]

you'd need to send a message with a click event + command run

beyond that the client does not notify the server about clicking chat messages

[twilit roost]

@eternal oxide

[agile anvil]

Totally useless. Cos and sin are 2pi periodic

[twilit roost]

or i dont get what u mean

[lost matrix]

PS: You can build a command -> method bridge by using generated tokens

[eternal night]

Yea sponge has something like that build in

[humble tulip]

how do u draw the blue line?

and the red line

[twilit roost]

    public static void createGizmo(Location at, Vector dir, Color color,float length){
        int r = color.getRed();
        int g = color.getGreen();
        int b = color.getBlue();

        Location curLoc = at.clone();
        for (int i = 0; i <= length; i++) {
            curLoc.getWorld().spawnParticle(Particle.REDSTONE, curLoc, 5, new Particle.DustOptions(Color.fromRGB(r, g, b), 1));
            curLoc.add(dir);
        }
    }
    public static void createGizmo(Player at, Vector dir, Color color, float length){
        int r = color.getRed();
        int g = color.getGreen();
        int b = color.getBlue();

        Location curLoc = at.getLocation();
        for (int i = 0; i <= length; i++) {
            at.spawnParticle(Particle.REDSTONE, curLoc, 5, new Particle.DustOptions(Color.fromRGB(r, g, b), 1));
            curLoc.add(dir);
        }
    }

feel free to use this

[meager trout]

hi,
how to set operation for itemstack on NBTTagCompound ?
for example = Head - Chest and more ..

        NBTTagCompound damage = new NBTTagCompound();
        damage.set("AttributeName", new NBTTagString("generic.attackDamage"));
        damage.set("Name", new NBTTagString("generic.attackDamage"));
        damage.set("Amount", new NBTTagInt(10 * 10));
        damage.set("Operation", new NBTTagInt(0));
        damage.set("UUIDLeast", new NBTTagInt(894654));
        damage.set("UUIDMost", new NBTTagInt(2872));
        modifiers.add(damage);

[twilit roost]

just be carefull
it might lag out the server

[humble tulip]

i actually meant the vector

[twilit roost]

oh

😄

[eternal night]

does the API not have attribute API ?

[lost matrix]

Use the attribute system from spigot and store custom data in the PDC of the ItemStack. Miss me with that nms.

[eternal night]

for item stacks

[ornate patio]

what's the most efficient way to store an array of UUIDs in a PDC

[twilit roost]

blue line is bassically *-1

[eternal night]

I mean, byte[] ?

[meager trout]

Version is 1.8.8

[eternal night]

[ornate patio]

I'm looking at the NBT data for a horse and idk wth this is

[lost matrix]

Memory or CPU?

[ornate patio]

wdym

[eternal night]

int array

a bit more readable than byte array

[humble tulip]

blue line is -ve red line?

[ornate patio]

oh memory

[lost matrix]

Well then go dig in old forum posts from half a decade ago. Support for that version was dropped years ago
and nobody plays it anyways.

[meager trout]

thanks

[twilit roost]

yeah
its little complicated method but it just calculates wrongly location and sets direction that is -1

[lost matrix]

Then a long[] by splitting the UUID in lsb and msb

[eternal night]

right PDC has long[]

[humble tulip]

i'm confused weren't you trying to get the lines to point the same way?

[lost matrix]

A bit more info on that.
UUID is in essence just a 128 bit number. This means you can split it
in two 64 bit longs.

[twilit roost]

point same direction as the ship does

[eternal oxide]

?stash

[undone axle]

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

[humble tulip]

so this is fine?

[ornate patio]

how do you split a UUID and what is lsb and msb lmao

[twilit roost]

well blue is indeed -1 of red
but it doesn't point onto the front part ( dont know the name rn ) of the ship

[humble tulip]

Rotating Vectors

[lost matrix]

lsb = least significant bits
msb = most significant bits

Ill show you an example

[ornate patio]

also can i store nested arrays in a PDC because i need to store multiple UUIDS

[tardy delta]

new long[] { uuid.getMostSignificantBytes(), uuid.getLeastSignificantBytes() }

[ornate patio]

i think its best if i write my own persistentdatatype right

[tardy delta]

or use alex' lib

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/bukkit/browse/src/main/java/org/bukkit/Location.java#286

just zero pitch

[ornate patio]

also how am i supposed to do this

public class UUIDListTagType implements PersistentDataType<long[][], ArrayList<UUID>> {

    @Override
    public Class<long[][]> getPrimitiveType() {
        return long[][].class;
    }
    
    @Override
    public Class<ArrayList<UUID>> getComplexType() {
        ...
    }

what am i supposed to put for the getComplexType body

[lost matrix]

  public static long[] toPrimitive(UUID... uuids) {
    long[] primitives = new long[uuids.length * 2];

    for (int index = 0; index < uuids.length; index++) {
      long msb = uuids[index].getMostSignificantBits();
      long lsb = uuids[index].getLeastSignificantBits();
      primitives[index * 2] = msb;
      primitives[index * 2 + 1] = lsb;
    }

    return primitives;
  }

  public static UUID[] fromPrimitive(long[] primitives) {
    Preconditions.checkArgument(primitives.length % 2 == 0);
    UUID[] uuids = new UUID[primitives.length / 2];
    for (int index = 0; index < uuids.length; index++) {
      uuids[index] = new UUID(primitives[index * 2], primitives[index * 2 + 1]);
    }
    return uuids;
  }

This is more the solution than an example... anyways. Consider yourself fed

[ornate patio]

damn thanks

dw i'll study it

i hate copying code that i dont understand

[eternal oxide]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[eternal oxide]

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

wrong ping

[eternal oxide]

https://paste.md-5.net/ridefelapu.java was the intended

[lost matrix]

Interesting. I would assume that using a byte[] is less efficient as pretty much every machine nowadays uses a word
length of 64 anyways.

[eternal oxide]

probably

[smoky oak]

why is the syntax highlighting gone

[lost matrix]

Not that those microseconds would matter

[eternal oxide]

but not forever. 64 will be redundant

[smoky oak]

oh on that topic

is it faster to do a for loop iterating by one and copying & bit shifting the variable to the left by 9, or to do a for loop which adds 512 per iteration

[eternal night]

byte[] also just looks worse in game

like, you do crab on the /data command with it xD

[ornate patio]

thanks

would it be possible to use an ArrayList<UUID> instead of UUID[] though?

or does this not support it

[eternal night]

obviouly

[lost matrix]

Sure

[eternal oxide]

You cna pass in any way you want. Just rewrite it

[ornate patio]

alright

[smoky oak]

^

[lost matrix]

Show us your code.
If the compiler sees something that can be optimized then it will optimize.

[eternal oxide]

multiplying should be faster than bitshifting

[lost matrix]

Hm?

[eternal oxide]

I believe. I could be wrong

oh that wasn;t his question

[smoky oak]

im planning to check one block at input coordinates per mca. Also isnt bit shifting invented to literally make division and multiplication by 2 faster?

[ornate patio]

just got one question

what do i put here

[humble tulip]

yeah

bit shifting always faster

[lost matrix]

Im just thinking about the last ALU i assembled and the multiplication was hella expensive.
But it was super primitive.

[ivory sleet]

Just ArrayList.class

[eternal oxide]

its a List.class

[ornate patio]

i tried that already

[ivory sleet]

Well cast it also perhaps

[ornate patio]

function return type is an arraylist class though

[eternal oxide]

actually you can't parameterise teh class

[tardy delta]

i thought this was valid syntax :c

[ornate patio]

so i can't use ArrayLists at all?

[lost matrix]

[ivory sleet]

One way would be with a type token

[humble tulip]

no but SomeClass.<Something>.method() is

[ivory sleet]

But that’s smelly

[tardy delta]

ye thats why i thought

[ivory sleet]

Class.class is a singleton so not able to pass types to type params (since there are none)

[lost matrix]

still not

SomeClass.<Type>method()

[humble tulip]

oh ye mb

[tardy delta]

grr

[ornate patio]

soo should i resort back to UUID[] instead then

[ivory sleet]

Oh mb

[eternal night]

valhalla wen

tho I think even with specific generics the class type won't support that

[ivory sleet]

(Class<ArrayList<UUID>>) new TypeToken<ArrayList<UUID>>(){}.getRawType()

Maybe

[tardy delta]

aaaaa

[ivory sleet]

Or perhaps it might work with just TypeToken::getType but ye

Gets verbose

[ornate patio]

that looks cursed

also

[tardy delta]

@SupressWarnings("unchecked") ehhhe

[ivory sleet]

Alternatively
Class<ArrayList<UUID>> dodo = (Class<ArrayList<UUID>>)(Type)ArrayList.class; maybe

[lost matrix]

Why the hustle? Just use an array.

[ornate patio]

so i dont have to manually convert it to an arraylist every time

[lost matrix]

You can convert a List to an Array by simply calling toArray

[ornate patio]

yeah but like

its still work

to convert the array to an arraylist too

[tardy delta]

😳 ElgarL once told me to put 'java' before everything i wanted to know

[eternal oxide]

This is accepted but it does bitch about a blind cast

[ivory sleet]

ye

[mortal hare]

do you guys use protected for exposing final fields for subclasses

[humble tulip]

yes

[lost matrix]

Yes

[ivory sleet]

depends

[eternal night]

inheritance is kinda cringe

[ivory sleet]

^

composition :3

[eternal night]

🙏

[lost matrix]

composite your way through

[mortal hare]

i feel like exposing protected field code smells

i cant get rid of this feeling

but sometimes i need some kind of field

[ivory sleet]

well dovidas, I try to keep the coupling between a super and sub class minimal as the relation between the two classes is already extremely coupled

[lost matrix]

How? Thats literally what protected was invented for.

What really smells is the friend keyword... (C++)

[mortal hare]

sometimes i have complete implementation in base class but i need to further extend it in subclasses

[tardy delta]

friendly class

[smoky oak]

pardon?

[tardy delta]

or fun

[ivory sleet]

I mean you have a set of design patterns dovidas

like proxy, adapter, delegate, chain of responsibility and also functional interfaces with hot sugar syntax

[ornate patio]

idk why it needs to exist

[mortal hare]

i dont want to expose the field further than to subclass

[ivory sleet]

do you even need to expose the field?

[mortal hare]

I dont want to even expose its existance to end user

[ivory sleet]

it might be enough with getters and setters

[ornate patio]

man i really wish java had built-in getters and setters

[mortal hare]

records

[ornate patio]

like python's @property and .setter

[lost matrix]

records or lombok

[opal juniper]

lombok -> delombok -> boom you have setters

[ivory sleet]

lol

[ornate patio]

what is lombok

[mortal hare]

annotation processing lib

[opal juniper]

a hot pile of steaming shit

[mortal hare]

automaticallly creating setters and getters for you

by annotating field or method

[ornate patio]

ill look into it

[ivory sleet]

[ornate patio]

but it's still just a rough bandaid

[opal juniper]

i love how lombok is reduced to "getters and setters"

[ivory sleet]

kinda true

[lost matrix]

Someone still needs to explain their lombok hate to me.
All ive gotten so far was "its bad because i dont understand it properly. Too complicated"

[ivory sleet]

Ive had a bad experience with it

[mortal hare]

i hate it because it hides stuff, which some do not like

[ornate patio]

its just a bandaid to cover up java's flaws

[ivory sleet]

like source and decompiled code mismatch

and then back in the days you could get some wizard-like stacktraces

but through out the years its a pretty solid java boilerplate reducer library

[lost matrix]

It has more implicit declarations.
Everyone that worked with enterprise java know what "hiding stuff" really looks like.

[ivory sleet]

I just find it meaningless as we do have code generation keybinds etc in ides

and like the entire "when code isnt written by you, but inferred the code is hard to maintain"-argument is kinda bullshit

lombok has become a preference I believe

[quaint mantle]

What does the itemflag Hide_Attributes do, becuase on the docs it says hides damage but durability still shows?

[mortal hare]

it hides damage

attributes

[opal juniper]

Im not sure about complicated, its pretty straight forward imho. But it just seems like such a stupid efficiency thing to write @Getter than just start typing get and intellij will autofill it. and also the names that it gives the methods dont always sound very "good english"

[mortal hare]

attack, speed, etc.

[lost matrix]

I just find working with lombok way faster than using the bindings of my ide,

[mortal hare]

Attack Damage +7

[ivory sleet]

mye hence preference Id say

[mortal hare]

that kind of stuff

[quaint mantle]

Ohhh..

[ivory sleet]

well

I find it fine to use

but for public libs still a bit no for me

since not everyone is familiar with it

[quaint mantle]

Do you know if its possible to stop it showing the currently durability when the player shows advanced tooltips

[opal juniper]

Yeah its fine™️ but i would never choose to use it

[ivory sleet]

so it would ultimately increase complexity of said library

[mortal hare]

that's clientside

its impossible

[lost matrix]

Not possible

[quaint mantle]

Not even with NMS?

[opal juniper]

no

[mortal hare]

yep

not even with nms this is possible

[lost matrix]

Nope. its all client side. Are you concerned about them finding out the exact damage values or do you just want to hide them?

[quaint mantle]

Im creating custom durabilities

So it would ruin the thing if they could see it

[mortal hare]

you would need to just deal with it

its not a big deal

[quaint mantle]

Does unbreakable still show durabilities?

[eternal night]

wouldn't custom durability just live on the server 🤔

or PDC

[mortal hare]

only items which do not have durability do not show that

[lost matrix]

The problem with this is that they then also dont have the bar that indicates the damage.

[mortal hare]

values are hardcoded into client

while its durability is simulated in server and sent back to client

[eternal night]

Yea but if you had custom durability

[quaint mantle]

Because i was thinking i could change the lore when it takes damage, and send packets?

[eternal night]

durability isn't part of the lore 😅

[quaint mantle]

No i know

[mortal hare]

Durability meter is not part of lore sadly

its a separate thing

[quaint mantle]

But its one way i could visualise it if i set it as unbreakable

[eternal night]

Yea

but then yea, you'd have to store the "custom durability" somewhere else

[lost matrix]

Dont do it like that. Let the custom durability live in the PDC and
modify outgoing packets to the player that convert whatever is stored in the PDC to the items lore.
This way you can change your display design without having to update any ItemStacks in the game.

[quaint mantle]

PDC?

[mortal hare]

Delegate design pattern wouldnt work for me, since i extend the class, its not as if I wrap some kind of class

[ivory sleet]

yes I was just listing some

mainly to give ya a hint

[mortal hare]

so guys using protected for subclasses is fine

[ivory sleet]

its fine

but keep it minimal

since it becomes hard to maintain through out a nested sub class relation

[mortal hare]

its final field after all

what could go wrong

[ivory sleet]

personally if its a read only field Id make a getter/accessor and keep that thing protected, just to make the design a bit more robust

[mortal hare]

are primitive ints initialized to zero by default?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[mortal hare]

ik unintialized ints in cpp are undefined

but in java idk

[eternal oxide]

primitives can not be null

[mortal hare]

if they initialized to zero by default why you can use operators like i++ without initializing it to zero first

i mean if values like int i; have predefined values like boolean has value false by default

[eternal oxide]

well no. you can;t use an uninitialized primitive

[lost matrix]

They only have as fields

[mortal hare]

oh

ok

[solid cargo]

should i do this to prevent potential hackers?

[eternal night]

I mean

ehhhhh

[solid cargo]

i mean the ones who aint trying to hide it

does optifine count as forge?

just clean optifine

[eternal night]

The amount of people actually running forge to run their hack clients might be rather small

and idk what isForgeUser is

[solid cargo]

its on bungeecord

[eternal night]

ah

[tender shard]

that's useless

[eternal night]

I have doubts this will be effective yea

any good hack client will bypass that

even if they for some reason use forge

[tender shard]

you can hide the client branding with like 2 lines of code

and also people could just use fabric instead of forge or whatever

[solid cargo]

but the dumb ones will still be catched or at least delayed to hack

[tender shard]

no

[eternal night]

You would also block any other forge user

if you only want vanilla clients, then yea

go for it

but, most if not all of those users will not be hacking

[solid cargo]

its for a building championship, to prevent printer as much as possible

[tender shard]

printer?

[solid cargo]

auto build

or schematica all together

[eternal night]

Well both fabric and forge announce themselves don't they ?

so if you wanna clap all mods, sure

[solid cargo]

optifine is enough

imo

[eternal oxide]

many clients install forge so they can have a map

[solid cargo]

i just need to prevent schematica

[eternal oxide]

if they run forge you can query what mods they have

[solid cargo]

yeah ik.

player had these mods: ....

should work ig

[tardy delta]

hypixel gave me a ban appeal for hacked client lmao

love the staff

[solid cargo]

oof

eeh fuck it. lets allow players to connect with forge. our eyes are good enough to detect players who cheat

[lost matrix]

Why not use an heuristic anti cheat?

[solid cargo]

wait wtf is that word

can you explain in monke terms?

[humble tulip]

isnt that machine learning?

[solid cargo]

we just need to detect schematica autobuild. thats it

[humble tulip]

just check the modlist ig

wont stop everyone tho since they can just change the mod name

[solid cargo]

not everyone is going to go through that

ig i can make modlist list

and then if player mods contain something

i throw them out?

[humble tulip]

ye

[solid cargo]

also should i give them a reason why they got kicked out?

[humble tulip]

or stop them from building

tell them that they are using schematica

which is not allowed

[tender shard]

litematica's fast place feature can also easily be detected by checking the clicked blockface in blockplaceevent

if it's always BlockFace.SELF then they have it enabled

[solid cargo]

an ac is prolly made for that already. i dont wanna reinvent the wheel

[humble tulip]

i thought u just wanted to stop 1 thing tho

anticheats arent lightweight

and it isnt very hard to implement

a map that maps uuid to integer to keep count

or maybe 2 so u can get a percentage of BlockFace.SELF placements

[solid cargo]

eh fudge it. im allowing anyone to join.

even cheaters. they will just get detected sooner or later by my laser eyes

[lost matrix]

Randomly ban 2% of your playerbase to scare the cheaters away.

[solid cargo]

ima ban my alt on purpose

[tardy delta]

if (ThreadlocalRandom.current().nextInt(100) < 50) user.ban() hehe

[tall dragon]

make fake bans 😄

[solid cargo]

YES

random usernames from playerlist or random username from a list in code?

[tall dragon]

and make fancy announcements like "our anticheat has banned 435 cheaters this week!"

excelent idea

[solid cargo]

nah its for like a building championship

[lost matrix]

xX_puxxySlayer69_Xx got banned for slaying some

[solid cargo]

which might get like 100 participants

[tall dragon]

im sorry i dont understand could you finish that sentence

[solid cargo]

some what?

🐱

[tardy delta]

some cat

https://tenor.com/view/godzilla-funny-gif-7599580

[lost matrix]

some inferior opponents

[solid cargo]

its 12am should i go to sleep?

the animatronics are about to come

[lost matrix]

1am is peak productivity time

[tardy delta]

what are animatronics?

[solid cargo]

fnaf

[tardy delta]

it was 2am yesterday

[lost matrix]

Thats when you start the really big projects

[tall dragon]

yea doesnt every programmer program better at night?

its so much better

[tardy delta]

thats usually when i start falling asleep in front of my pc

[tall dragon]

idk why

[solid cargo]

no one is there to disturb you

its quiet outside

not too cold not too warm

[dire marsh]

Apply as hypixel anticheat dev now

[tall dragon]

theres no way they gonna refuse me now right

[dire marsh]

i mean you'd be doing the same stuff they already do

[tall dragon]

exactly

they act like watchdog is the shit

in reality there is no anticheat 😄

[dire marsh]

yep

they've had that anticheat role open for around a year now I think lol

don't seem to require much for a so called machine learning anticheat

[tall dragon]

of the final jar?

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.2.0</version>
                <configuration>
                    <outputDirectory>${project.basedir}/../out/</outputDirectory>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

i use this

[solid cargo]

bruh i wanna add something simple to the plugin before going to sleep. what should i add?

or plugins, since i have 1 for the game server, 1 for lobby and 1 for proxy 🤣

[tall dragon]

make creepers explode cows everywhere!

Hey I got a question. I started to use remapped-mojang for package related things. But I found the procolib. So I am kinda confused which of both is better, or if it's recommended to use them together? I am pretty new in that kind of topic so I wanted to ask for an opinion

[humble tulip]

protocol lib is version independent whereas nms is

but sending packets with protocol lib is a pain

it's really nice to listen to incoming packets tho

[wild reef]

so I would still use protocolib i guess?

[humble tulip]

depends on ur use

[tall dragon]

tbh isnt that kind of a weird question. protocollib will help you with packets. but u can do plenty other stuff with nms. which you could need remapped for no?

[wild reef]

well I need to send packets and listen to some

basically something about npcs

I used remapped right now

everything worked fine till finding a way to listen to packages

that's why I found protocolib which seems like everyone uses

[humble tulip]

use protocollib to listen to packets

[tall dragon]

well if ur only needing to interact with packets i'd suggest protocollib yea

[wild reef]

that's why I was confused if I can combine them, or need to use one of them

[humble tulip]

u can combine em

protocol lib is for packets

nms still has alot more uses

[wild reef]

alright thank you guys

[ornate patio]

is there an event for when a player jumps on a horse

[lost matrix]

You mean if the player mounts a horse?

[ornate patio]

no like

if the player is riding the horse

and holds the space bar to jump

[lost matrix]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/HorseJumpEvent.html

[ornate patio]

damn this is actually a thing

wasnt expecting that

but thankfully it does

[humble tulip]

too bad it's now clientside so u cant modfiy it

well u can but it may look wonky

[ornate patio]

can i cancel it?

[tall dragon]

will it even be fired still?

[humble tulip]

no

again u can but may be wonky

[ornate patio]

i'll see what happens

if its wonky i can just like forcibly teleport the horse back down

[humble tulip]

why dont u want the horse jumping

[ornate patio]

its complicated lol

it'll sometimes be able to jump, sometimes wont

[humble tulip]

u can give it a jump potion of max amplifier to disable jumping

and remove when u dont want it to jump

[ornate patio]

i remember trying to do that before on a player

[humble tulip]

not sure if it'll work tho since horses are contrllable

[humble tulip]

and?

yeah it works on player

[ornate patio]

it was buggy though, sometimes if the player took damage they'd go flying up into outer space

[humble tulip]

that's not supposed to happen

[ornate patio]

well it does happen

[humble tulip]

Thanks everyone i solved the issue with
Code (Java):
player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.JUMP, Integer.MAX_VALUE, 250));
but the problem was when i quit and rejoin i could jump so i remove the potion then give the potion and that worked.

250 is the amplifier

[ornate patio]

another problem though is if the horse already has a genuine jump boost potion affect on

wait cant i use an attribute modifier

[humble tulip]

cache the time remaining, and the effect and the time when u remove it and u can add the effect back when u remove the permanant jump boost

messy but may work

still dont know if player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.JUMP, Integer.MAX_VALUE, 250)); works on horses so u can start by testing that

[tall dragon]

could maybe also directly edit the horses jump power

[ornate patio]

yeah thats what i was thinking

[lost matrix]

Whatever was just there: I tried base64 decoding it.

[humble tulip]

lul

[wild reef]

Uhm about protocolib again. I will need it on my server for my plugin using it to run properly correct? Is there a way with maven to shade the plugin into mine, so protocolib doesn't need to be on the server?

[humble tulip]

i was cleaning my keyboard

[lost matrix]

yes

[chrome beacon]

128 should be enough

[tall dragon]

tbh idk if this is a public plugin but 90% of servers have protocollib installed anyways

[mortal hare]

there's alternative made by protocollib team called tinyprotocol which could be shaded

but by using that you will need to manage NMS dependant code by yourself

[ornate patio]

more of a java question but should i be using Random#nextDouble or Math#random

[tall dragon]

id use TheadLocalRandom

[mortal hare]

I use ThreadLocalRandom

[ornate patio]

alright

[mortal hare]

i would use Random only in the case I would like to use seeding

but that's only the preference by using ThreadLocalRandom you dont need to maintain random classes by yourself

[brave sparrow]

ThreadLocalRandom is faster

Like it’s more performant in general than Random

[mortal hare]

but it doesnt support seeding

also randomness is thread dependant

its just a matter of architectural design

[ivory sleet]

yeah

non reproducible

altho hopefully any modern java code depends on RandomGenerator rather, in which the impl can be substituted at will

[ornate patio]

so i have an event handler which will randomly stop the player from leashing a horse:
https://mystb.in/ControversyProveFame.csharp

the problem is that if the leash does get cancelled, the player gets automatically mounted on the horse

how would i prevent that

[tardy delta]

entitymount event?

[tall dragon]

listen to interactevent instead

or interactatentityevent actually

[ornate patio]

yeah but like

i dont want to stop all players from mounting horses

the main this is how do i determine if the player's leash got cancelled or not

[tall dragon]

so check if they are clicking on a horse

then check if they have a leash

in their main hand

if so -> do random

[ornate patio]

sorry hUh

oh you mean in interactatentityevent?

[tall dragon]

yea

[ornate patio]

and ditch the playerleashentityevent?

[tall dragon]

yes

[ornate patio]

k lemme try

whats the difference between PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent and PlayerInteractEntityEvent

what should i listen to

[tall dragon]

use PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent

[ornate patio]

ok

[tall dragon]

actually no

use PlayerInteractEntityEvent

i got confused

[ornate patio]

alright

wait how do i get an players item in a specific EquipmentSlot

[tardy delta]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/PlayerInventory.html

[humble tulip]

Get Equipment

GetItem

That's also a method

[ornate patio]

oh getItem(slot) is a thing

[humble tulip]

Ye

[ornate patio]

@tall dragon ok your solution worked, thanks

[tall dragon]

👍

[ornate patio]

i dont see how this prevents the horse mounting though

[tall dragon]

well the player is interacting with the horse isnt he

and ur cancelling that

[ornate patio]

hmm

i guess so

[tall dragon]

the leash event is bassically a fancy PlayerInteractEntityEvent with a leash check xd

[tardy delta]

so are all damage events

[tall dragon]

yep

[ornate patio]

what's a good "reject" sound effect

for example a horse resisting a leash

[tardy delta]

villager saying no

forget the name, it was smth with villager in the name

[ornate patio]

i found it

[tardy delta]

lol

[ornate patio]

ENTITY_VILLAGER_NO

[tardy delta]

ig

[ornate patio]

thanks

[grim ice]

LOL fun fact

its saying mew mew repeatedly

in korean

[ornate patio]

also I'm still working on finding the damn pathfinding algorithm

if anyone could help that'd be great lmao

[smoky oak]

isnt a villager saying no the same thing as a green one

[tardy delta]

dont think so

[grim ice]

man

i need a coding idea

[tardy delta]

i assume green one means the villager bein happy

[grim ice]

i should make an app that will help me learn russian

[mortal hare]

more interactability

with ui's

this would be great for help info custom gui's with resource packs

[ivory sleet]

oh ye

[mortal hare]

also i separated NMS from bukkit api code so there are nms interfaces rn, in order to make this more platform independant

enough work for today

[ivory sleet]

could be really epic

[smoky oak]

im assuming that switch's intended. What about using the first trade in the UI to switch between different villagers?

like

on clikc

[lost matrix]

Interesting idea. Matter of fact im gonna steal this idea and think about using this to display the quests for my current project.

[mortal hare]

that progress bar switching is just dummy code that i've placed to test on

you can do whatever you want

there's InventoryActionContext interface which invoke method returns

so you can execute whatever you want

including switching inventories

[smoky oak]

is that nms or api btw? i dont recall how much you can manipulate guis without diving into nms

[mortal hare]

mix of both

[smoky oak]

ah

[mortal hare]

NMS is mostly not needed

but in order to preserve items in the trading slots (which do not stay in bukkit merchant implementation)

you need to implement custom NMS menu class

but for example Merchant without villager entity in bukkit api can not hold levels

so you need to do some nms to bypass

[smoky oak]

i see. Interesting, though i doubt it'll come up for me

What im working on atm is interactions in the world

like checking blocks powers of two apart if they're the same

long story

hence my question about bit shifts earlier

if i can make it fast without much effort

im going to make it fast

oh on that note

would it be faster to bit shift i and bit shift it back, or to copy it into another variable and bit shift that variable?

im not sure how assignment or variable initialization compares to bit shifting in speed

[lost matrix]

Are you doing millions of those instuctions every minute?

[smoky oak]

in this specific case no

its possible that it'll come up en masse in a different one

particle stuff

[lost matrix]

allocating space for a new variable is for sure more expensive than using an exisiting one and doing a shift on it

[smoky oak]

and if i just assign it in the loop? allocate it before the loop?

im aware that doing that inside the loop is a dumb idea - initialization - but im not sure about assignment

i think its slower

but i dont know for sure

also i cant test it right now

[wild reef]

I am trying to interact with this npc right now, and it's only working on the shadowed position on the legs (cause it would be the normal location if the pose was standing). Can I make it somehow, so I can interact with the whole laying body?

[smoky oak]

also i'd take a guess and say that accessing unloaded chunks takes up a few orders of magnitude more processing time than bit shifting or variable assignment

show hitboxes. I'd recon you can't interact cuz the hitbox is still up

[lost matrix]

yes. its like adding a teaspoon of salt into a lake and worrying about converting it into an ocean.

[smoky oak]

hah fair enough

im mostly worried because ill start working with a research institute in the future. I'd rather have my code optimized there, especially considering how much modern research relies on a buttload of math being done

modern neural networks got what

like

a few billion nodes? and they all run math

[lost matrix]

Youll probably be using something more low level then

[humble tulip]

And better hardware

[smoky oak]

I'll most likely be forced to use c or c++ anyways

and then ill pull out my hair because neither of those has a garbage collector

to be honest

i really dont understand how people think using python for data science is a good idea

[lost matrix]

Neuronal networking is done on GPUs because the workload relies on strong parallelisation.
And all of that is abstracted away from you. Data science is mainly done in Python for whatever reason.

[smoky oak]

what i dont get is

[sterile token]

["", "&fPlace the block to", "&fprotect an area", ""] this can parsed with YamlConfiguration#StringList() ?

[ivory sleet]

yes

[sterile token]

It seems that throw an excpetion

[smoky oak]

python is interpreted not compiled. So why do people use something three to four orders of magnitude slower than a compiled language for something that relies so heavily on speed???

[lost matrix]

Yes. When in doubt use an only yml syntax checker

[quaint mantle]

lazy idiots

[sterile token]

LOl what a nice staff

[ivory sleet]

python isnt necessarily that bad

especially when the modules you use are natively written

[smoky oak]

oh right

[ivory sleet]

like numpy

[quaint mantle]

it has its uses, like sorting and stuff

[smoky oak]

i forgot

[lost matrix]

Because all the libraries use heavily optimized low-level implementations in C

[smoky oak]

yea c

i remember

[lost matrix]

Like Pandas, Numpy and Torch

[wild reef]

anyone got an idea?

[ivory sleet]

yee

[smoky oak]

huh for some reason i recall that name

[sterile token]

every lang is bad if you dont give the correct usage

[smoky oak]

theres some languages you cant use correctly

[sterile token]

That the only thing i have learned around my own experience

[smoky oak]

piet, chief, shakespeare...

[sterile token]

yeah

[lost matrix]

Whitespace, Brainfuck, Moo

[sterile token]

Cobol for example

[ivory sleet]

these esoteric languages sure

they're just trolling ya

[smoky oak]

intercal

'not sufficiently polite'

[ivory sleet]

but any normal language usually has a use case

[lost matrix]

Another esoteric language: Javascript

[sterile token]

I dont know how still exists cobol devs

[tender shard]

banks, insurance companies, airlines, ...

[lost matrix]

Because there is a demand

[smoky oak]

theres that one language you cant prove or disprove to be turing complete cuz it was made on a hex grid for some reason too

[ivory sleet]

they're soon to be relinquished

[sharp flare]

Legacy machines needs to maintained thats why they still use it

[smoky oak]

to be fair the military runs win xp cuz their software is so old

[ivory sleet]

most systems running on cobol are planning or are getting re written

[smoky oak]

snowflake servers are an interesting thing

[quaint mantle]

no, xp is more barebones and thus more easy to maintain and ensure security

[tender shard]

my country's military probably doesn't even have computers lol

[lost matrix]

No working ones at least

[smoky oak]

to be fair i always thought that xp was kind of 'meh', it looks so... i dunno how to say it... lazy?

win seven wasnt much better tho

[quaint mantle]

yeah idk why they dont just manufacture hardware to their needs

they're the damn government

[tender shard]

yeah ursula learnt "how to maintain a military" by playing minesweeper

[smoky oak]

see thats the issue

governments never manage to make progress on semi important things

[tender shard]

no

[smoky oak]

dont think so. Arent destructors doing what the GC already does in java?

[tender shard]

yeah kinda

just dont reference unneeded objects and you're fine

well there is a finalize method
