okay so, first thing - you wanna listen to the PlayerInteractEvent. It gets fired whennever someone clicks on a block. Now you want to be able to identify your "custom" blocks somehow. You could store a list of the locationns or similar

pseudo tiger Jul 25, 2022, 12:47 PM

#

i'd make a Map<Location, Consumer<PlayerInteractEvent>>

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:48 PM

#

I also have a library that you can use to store data in blocks

#

e.g. you could just store a boolean like "isThisMyCustomBlock" inside your custo,m diamond blocks

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:48 PM

#

yeah was just about to say that parts a little extensive

pseudo tiger Jul 25, 2022, 12:48 PM

#

oh ye you might use pdc too to identify a block

ohhh

#

yes that one

#

i forgot alex wrote that

pseudo tiger saving it on the chunk 🥺

why not? the blocks also gets saved to the chunk 😄

I had that idea in a dream, fr

pseudo tiger Jul 25, 2022, 12:49 PM

#

why doesnt every block has a pdc?

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:49 PM

#

damn good dream

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:49 PM

#

pseudo tiger why doesnt every block has a pdc?

they literally cant sadly

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:50 PM

#

pseudo tiger why doesnt every block has a pdc?

PR it 😛

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:50 PM

#

they dont extend PersistantContainer thingy

#

oh god

pseudo tiger Jul 25, 2022, 12:50 PM

#

does the game saves stuff in the pdc or do only plugins save stuff there?

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:50 PM

#

pseudo tiger does the game saves stuff in the pdc or do only plugins save stuff there?

actual game

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:50 PM

#

pseudo tiger does the game saves stuff in the pdc or do only plugins save stuff there?

PDC is purely a bukkit invention

pseudo tiger Jul 25, 2022, 12:50 PM

#

ahh

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:50 PM

#

it internally uses NBT tags called "BukkitValues" for entities and chunks, or "PublicBukkitValues" for ItemMeta

pseudo tiger Jul 25, 2022, 12:51 PM

#

oh ye ive seen that when doing /data entity ...

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:51 PM

#

it's basically a wrapper for PDC stuff. that's also why PDC by default only supports data types that NBT supports

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:51 PM

#

yeah they still write to the actual game files

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:51 PM

#

a PersistentDataContainer is basically a NBT TagCompoundd

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:51 PM

#

^^

#

well

pseudo tiger Jul 25, 2022, 12:51 PM

#

never worked with that :D

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:51 PM

#

wouldnt it be TagContainer?

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:51 PM

#

"basically"

#

erm maybe

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:52 PM

#

oh

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:52 PM

#

I dont know much about NBT

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:52 PM

#

TagContainer deprected

#

since when

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:52 PM

#

today was the first time that I used NBT myself

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:52 PM

#

DeprecatedCustomTagContainer 😐

#

they deprecate it :((

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:52 PM

#

lmao

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:53 PM

#

ancient marten today was the first time that I used NBT myself

its work

#

rly annoying cx

#

thats why i just use NBTApi

#

even if i am already using remapped for something

#

imma use that

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:53 PM

#

yeah but NBT cannot store custom tags on entities

#

that's why I always go for my beloved PDC

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:54 PM

#

are you sure?

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:54 PM

#

anyway, we kinda hijacked this thread but who cares lol

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:54 PM

#

did you try it today?

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:54 PM

#

icy estuary did you try it today?

yes

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:54 PM

#

ancient marten anyway, we kinda hijacked this thread but who cares lol

he hasnt talked lol

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:54 PM

#

I wrote a huge library for all NBT stuff

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:54 PM

#

ancient marten I wrote a huge library for all NBT stuff

iirc

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:54 PM

#

then removed it all again because it didnt save custom tags

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:54 PM

#

Entities and TileEntity NBT

#

need to be saved directly to chunk when written

#

or they dont save

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:55 PM

#

I dont know. I just decided to go PDC all the way since that at least properly works for everything

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:55 PM

#

yeah since 1.14 thats all ive used

#

nbt is useless mostly now a days since pdt added

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:55 PM

#

btw @icy estuary have you seen my PDC collections library? 😛

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:56 PM

#

i have nor

#

cant i make pdt Particle?

sorry im tired and tried making a joke

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:56 PM

#

lol

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:56 PM

#

and grammar got fucked

#

Can i add PDT to a Particle

#

if the lib doesnt do that sorry i cant use it

#

i need to store player data in particles

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:57 PM

ancient marten https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/more-persistent-data-types.520677/

anyway, I'm extremely proud of this. It allows to do stuff like PersistentDataType<byte[],Map<String,List<ItemStack>>>

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:57 PM

icy estuary i need to store player data in particles

😄

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:57 PM

#

ancient marten anyway, I'm extremely proud of this. It allows to do stuff like PersistentDataTy...

omg

#

why not classify that xD

#

so you dont have 20 keysets haha xD

#

seems messy to read those diamon brackets xD

#

however

#

this is nice

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 12:58 PM

#

Map<String,ItemStack> map = pdc.get(someKey, DataType.asMap(DataType.STRING, DataType.ITEM_STACK));

#

took me days to get this to work lol

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:58 PM

#

primitive map parsing

#

:c

#

i wonder how bad that was to impl lol

just look at it. it's not so bad imho 😄

oh

pseudo tiger Jul 25, 2022, 12:59 PM

#

saved as a byte array ig?

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 12:59 PM

#

you just stored as byte array

#

yep

#

BigBrain

pseudo tiger Jul 25, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

i already looked at it 🙄

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

yeah i just now looked at it

#

sorry im not fast :(((

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

am I getting hate now? D:

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

nono

pseudo tiger Jul 25, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

not from me atleast

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

i expected it to be harder than that

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

it's not a byte array btw

#

it's a PersistentDataContainer

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

i thought it was gonna be some complex parsing stuff xD

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:01 PM

#

nah

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:01 PM

#

nono

#

your toPrimitive methods

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:01 PM

#

the toPrimitive returns a PDC

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:01 PM

#

not the one im looking at

pseudo tiger Jul 25, 2022, 1:01 PM

#

hot

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/MorePersistentDataTypes/blob/master/src/main/java/com/jeff_media/morepersistentdatatypes/datatypes/BooleanArrayDataType.java

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:01 PM

#

what are you looking at, then 😄

#

ooh yeah a boolean array is just a byte array

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:02 PM

#

oh

#

so i just looked at the only one that was byte array lmfao

#

unlucky

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:02 PM

#

well no

#

many things are byte[]

#

#

but the collections / maps / array datatypes can be generically created, and they are stored as nested PDC

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:03 PM

#

i wonder if anyones will ever ask you to store plugin instances

#

kek

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:03 PM

#

lmao

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:03 PM

#

ancient marten

oh damn

#

thats a lot of types

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:03 PM

#

that's why it's called MorePersistentDataTypes 😄

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:04 PM

#

Actually alex

#

I have a suggestion

#

And you might like it

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:04 PM

#

go ahead

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:05 PM

#

What are the off chances of storing a runnable or FunctionalInterfave to PDC somehiw

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:05 PM

#

I also thought about that

#

and came to the conclusion that there is no reason to store runnables

#

I mean, what's the use case for this?

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:05 PM

#

I think you might be able to just store the Class<?> that references said thing

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:05 PM

#

ancient marten I mean, what's the use case for this?

Store a function for an item

#

get("thing").run

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:06 PM

#

but that function would have to be hardcoded anyway, so you could also just store sth like an identifier

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:06 PM

#

Yeah probably

#

Imma pr it

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:06 PM

#

but yeah I also thought about that, e.g. for inventory GUIs

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:06 PM

#

Just to be annoying

#

My GUI is a wrapped item stack

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:07 PM

#

it would of course be possible to just store the byte[] of the runnable, then turn it back into an object

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:07 PM

#

With a functional interface for interactions

Pdc didnt see right at the time

#

Oh fr?

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:07 PM

#

should be easily possible with a normal Input/Output Stream

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:07 PM

#

Oh no

#

Streams

#

z_aCRYYY

#

I dont need it btw was just curious haha it actually interested me

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:08 PM

#

yeah but I'm bored anyway

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:08 PM

#

Cause if it existed I was gonna think on using it

#

It would be useful in one usecase

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:08 PM

#

I guess, not sure, that one can turn ANY object into a byte array with a regular ByteArrayOutputStream

#

and vice versa

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:08 PM

#

And it would be for inventory libs that accept dynamic functions for itmens

#

What about

#

FunctionalInterfaces?

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:09 PM

#

well the interface itself is not an object

#

so I doubt that that would somehow work

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:09 PM

#

Yeah you just store the object value of function when you set it

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

I mean even if you could get a Class<?> object of your interface, how would you use that in your code without having the actual interface as source?

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

But idk if thats doable

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

ancient marten I mean even if you could get a Class<?> object of your interface, how would you ...

Yeah class wouldn't work on functional interfaces

#

Cause method needs to be set first

#

Unless your constructors doing some fuck super() shit

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:11 PM

#

also I think that getting an object from a PDC byte[] is probbably quite shitty for performance. But it's an interesting idea nonetheless 😄

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:11 PM

#

Idea

#

Hear me out

#

Dont block me

#

Store them as strings instead

#

And parse it back to valid java aussieKekw

#

But yeah it prolly wouldn't be best on performance

#

Especially storing class<?>

#

You'd need newInstance everytime u want it

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:13 PM

#

I might just do that, just for fun because I love reflection lol

icy estuary Jul 25, 2022, 1:13 PM

#

Omg alex

#

Make it a side project

#

And like just make a super serious github repo for it

#

Once it's working post to spigot like you just discovered the wheel

#

💀

#

Satire spigot posting

ancient marten Jul 25, 2022, 1:18 PM

😄

#

I need a name idea

#

like Omni man
