How hard is it to build (compile) a plugin?
I am tempted to purchase raytraceantixray since i'm updating to 1.20.4, but I remember being told by PGDK that it was a bad buy because no support will be given and that it was best to compile it yourself. I was wondering if there is significant time/knowledge investment in doing so and whether it would be best for me to just buy it for the easy download.
For reference, this is the plugin: https://builtbybit.com/resources/raytraceantixray.24914/

Compiling is easy if the owner provided a github page/source code of the plugin
If you have never compiled anything before you will need to install maven or gradle
And then you need to run one of the commands in the source code directory
for maven
mvn clean package
for gradle gradlew clean build
If there is a file builld.gradle file in the directory then use gradle otherwise use mavenBased off this I think i'll need maven

I was about to ask if that link was for linux lmao
Thanks for the video
No problem
Keep in mind that when you buy the plugin, you are supporting the developer and help fund the project
Always support your local developer, especially when you are going to be using their work every day
Did you read the post
Yes
It says that the developer provides no support
He does, via GitHub tickets
I have a ticket on that exact project rn
I followed step 1 up to here, but it seems the path did not work https://youtu.be/O2mE0dWZ43M?feature=shared&t=283

Did you restart the computer?
No
Ah
Do it
Before installing java did you check if java is already installed using java --version
When compiling make sure you're on the right commit for your server version
There isn't backwards compatible
Also make sure you're on the right LTS java version for your commit
Use whatever java version your server runs on
Highly doubt it's 16
Yes, it wasn't
21
Then install java 21?
I installed jdk-22
So that's wrong right?
He's on 1.20.4, itd he java 17
be*
I pretty much did this, does it cause issues?
Server startup does show it's using Java 21
If your server is using java 21 then compile with java 21
If you installed 22 it'll prob be fine
Thanks for the suggestion, just purchased the plugin.
👍
