Contributing to Paper
|
|
==========================
|
|
PaperMC is happy you're willing to contribute to our projects. We are usually
|
|
very lenient with all submitted PRs, but there are still some guidelines you
|
|
can follow to make the approval process go more smoothly.
|
|
|
|
## Use a Personal Fork and not an Organization
|
|
|
|
Paper will routinely modify your PR, whether it's a quick rebase or to take care
|
|
of any minor nitpicks we might have. Often, it's better for us to solve these
|
|
problems for you than make you go back and forth trying to fix them yourself.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, if you use an organization for your PR, it prevents Paper from
|
|
modifying it. This requires us to manually merge your PR, resulting in us
|
|
closing the PR instead of marking it as merged.
|
|
|
|
We much prefer to have PRs show as merged, so please do not use repositories
|
|
on organizations for PRs.
|
|
|
|
See <https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/1681> for more information on the
|
|
issue.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
To get started with PRing changes, you'll need the following software, most of
|
|
which can be obtained in (most) package managers such as `apt` (Debian / Ubuntu;
|
|
you will most likely use this for WSL), `homebrew` (macOS / Linux), and more:
|
|
|
|
- `git` (package `git` everywhere);
|
|
- A Java 17 or later JDK (packages vary, use Google/DuckDuckGo/etc.).
|
|
- [Adoptium](https://adoptium.net/) has builds for most operating systems.
|
|
- Paper requires JDK 17 to build, however, makes use of Gradle's
|
|
[Toolchains](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/toolchains.html)
|
|
feature to allow building with only JRE 11 or later installed. (Gradle will
|
|
automatically provision JDK 17 for compilation if it cannot find an existing
|
|
install).
|
|
|
|
If you're on Windows, check
|
|
[the section on WSL](#patching-and-building-is-really-slow-what-can-i-do).
|
|
|
|
If you're compiling with Docker, you can use Adoptium's
|
|
[`eclipse-temurin`](https://hub.docker.com/_/eclipse-temurin/) images like so:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# docker run -it -v "$(pwd)":/data --rm eclipse-temurin:17.0.1_12-jdk bash
|
|
Pulling image...
|
|
|
|
root@abcdefg1234:/# javac -version
|
|
javac 17.0.1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Rebasing PRs
|
|
|
|
Steps to rebase a PR to include the latest changes from `master`.
|
|
These steps assume the `origin` remote is your fork of this repository and `upstream` is the official PaperMC repository.
|
|
|
|
1. Pull the latest changes from upstreams master: `git checkout master && git pull upstream master`.
|
|
1. Checkout feature/fix branch and rebase on master: `git checkout patch-branch && git rebase master`.
|
|
1. Apply updated patches: `./gradlew applyPatches`.
|
|
1. If there are conflicts, fix them.
|
|
1. If your PR creates new patches instead of modifying existing ones, in both the `Paper-Server` and `Paper-API` directories, ensure your newly-created patch is the last commit by either:
|
|
* Renaming the patch file with a large 4-digit number in front (e.g. 9999-Patch-to-add-some-new-stuff.patch), and re-applying patches.
|
|
* Running `git rebase --interactive base` and moving the commits to the end.
|
|
1. Rebuild patches: `./gradlew rebuildPatches`.
|
|
1. Commit modified patches.
|
|
1. Force push changes: `git push --force`.
|
|
|
|
## PR Policy
|
|
|
|
We'll accept changes that make sense. You should be able to justify their
|
|
existence, along with any maintenance costs that come with them. Using
|
|
[obfuscation helpers](#obfuscation-helpers) aids in the maintenance costs.
|
|
Remember that these changes will affect everyone who runs Paper, not just you
|
|
and your server.
|
|
|
|
While we will fix minor formatting issues, you should stick to the guide below
|
|
when making and submitting changes.
|
|
|
|
## Formatting
|
|
|
|
All modifications to non-Paper files should be marked. The one exception to this is
|
|
when modifying javadoc comments, which should not have these markers.
|
|
|
|
- You need to add a comment with a short and identifiable description of the patch:
|
|
`// Paper start - <COMMIT DESCRIPTION>`
|
|
- The comments should generally be about the reason the change was made, what
|
|
it was before, or what the change is.
|
|
- After the general commit description, you can add additional information either
|
|
after a `;` or in the next line.
|
|
- Multi-line changes start with `// Paper start - <COMMIT DESCRIPTION>` and end
|
|
with `// Paper end - <COMMIT DESCRIPTION>`.
|
|
- One-line changes should have `// Paper - <COMMIT DESCRIPTION>` at the end of the line.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of how to mark changes by Paper:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
entity.getWorld().dontBeStupid(); // Paper - Was beStupid(), which is bad
|
|
entity.getFriends().forEach(Entity::explode);
|
|
entity.updateFriends();
|
|
|
|
// Paper start - Use plugin-set spawn
|
|
// entity.getWorld().explode(entity.getWorld().getSpawn());
|
|
Location spawnLocation = ((CraftWorld)entity.getWorld()).getSpawnLocation();
|
|
entity.getWorld().explode(new BlockPosition(spawnLocation.getX(), spawnLocation.getY(), spawnLocation.getZ()));
|
|
// Paper end - Use plugin-set spawn
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We generally follow the usual Java style (aka. Oracle style), or what is programmed
|
|
into most IDEs and formatters by default. There are a few notes, however:
|
|
- It is fine to go over 80 lines as long as it doesn't hurt readability.
|
|
There are exceptions, especially in Spigot-related files
|
|
- When in doubt or the code around your change is in a clearly different style,
|
|
use the same style as the surrounding code.
|
|
|
|
### Imports
|
|
When adding new imports to a class in a file not created by the current patch, use the fully qualified class name
|
|
instead of adding a new import to the top of the file. If you are using a type a significant number of times, you
|
|
can add an import with a comment. However, if its only used a couple of times, the FQN is preferred to prevent future
|
|
patch conflicts in the import section of the file.
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
import org.bukkit.event.Event;
|
|
// don't add import here, use FQN like below
|
|
|
|
public class SomeEvent extends Event {
|
|
public final org.bukkit.Location newLocation; // Paper - add location
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Access Transformers
|
|
Sometimes, vanilla or CraftBukkit code already contains a field, method, or type you want to access
|
|
but the visibility is too low (e.g. a private field in an entity class). Paper can use access transformers
|
|
to change the visibility or remove the final modifier from fields, methods, and classes. Inside the `build-data/paper.at`
|
|
file, you can add ATs that are applied when you `./gradlew applyPatches`. You can read about the format of ATs
|
|
[here](https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced/accesstransformers/#access-modifiers).
|
|
|
|
### Important
|
|
ATs should be included in the patch file which requires them within the commit message. Do not commit any changes to the
|
|
`build-data/paper.at` file, just use it to initially change the visibility of members until you have finalized what you
|
|
need. Then, in the commit message for the patch which requires the ATs, add a header at the bottom of the commit message
|
|
before any co-authors. It should look like the following after you `./gradlew rebuildPatches`.
|
|
```

## Patch Notes
|
|
|
|
When submitting patches to Paper, we may ask you to add notes to the patch
|
|
header. While we do not require it for all changes, you should add patch notes
|
|
when the changes you're making are technical, complex, or require an explanation
|
|
of some kind. It is very likely that your patch will remain long after we've all
|
|
forgotten about the details of your PR; patch notes will help us maintain it
|
|
without having to dig back through GitHub history looking for your PR.
|
|
|
|
These notes should express the intent of your patch, as well as any pertinent
|
|
technical details we should keep in mind long-term. Ultimately, they exist to
|
|
make it easier for us to maintain the patch across major version changes.
|
|
|
|
If you add a message to your commit in the `Paper-Server`/`Paper-API`
|
|
directories, the rebuild patches script will handle these patch notes
|
|
automatically as part of generating the patch file. If you are not
|
|
extremely careful, you should always just `squash` or `amend` a patch (see the
|
|
above sections on modifying patches) and rebuild.
|
|
|
|
Editing messages and patches by hand is possible, but you should patch and
|
|
rebuild afterwards to make sure you did it correctly. This is slower than just
|
|
modifying the patches properly after a few times, so you will not really gain
|
|
anything but headaches from doing it by hand.
|
|
|
|

Subject: [PATCH] revert serverside behavior of keepalives
|
|
|
|
This patch intends to bump up the time that a client has to reply to the
|
|
server back to 30 seconds as per pre 1.12.2, which allowed clients
|
|
more than enough time to reply potentially allowing them to be less
|
|
tempermental due to lag spikes on the network thread, e.g. that caused
|
|
by plugins that are interacting with netty.
|
|
|
|
We also add a system property to allow people to tweak how long the server
|
|
will wait for a reply. There is a compromise here between lower and higher
|
|
values, lower values will mean that dead connections can be closed sooner,
|
|
whereas higher values will make this less sensitive to issues such as spikes
|
|
from networking or during connections flood of chunk packets on slower clients,
|
|
at the cost of dead connections being kept open for longer.

## Obfuscation Helpers
|
|
|
|
While rarely needed, obfuscation helpers are sometimes useful when it comes
|
|
to unmapped local variables, or poorly named method parameters. In an effort
|
|
to make future updates easier on ourselves, Paper tries to use obfuscation
|
|
helpers wherever it makes sense. The purpose of these helpers is to make the
|
|
code more readable and maintainable. These helpers should be made easy to
|
|
inline by the JVM wherever possible.
|
|
|
|
An example of an obfuscation helper for a local variable:
|
|
```java
|
|
double d0 = entity.getX(); final double fromX = d0; // Paper - OBFHELPER
|
|
// ...
|
|
this.someMethod(fromX); // Paper
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
While they may not always be done in exactly the same way, the general goal is
|
|
always to improve readability and maintainability. Use your best judgment and do
|
|
what fits best in your situation.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration files
|
|
|
|
To use a configurable value in your patch, add a new field in either the
|
|
`GlobalConfiguration` or `WorldConfiguration` classes (inside the
|
|
`io.papermc.paper.configuration` package). Use `GlobalConfiguration` if a value
|
|
must remain the same throughout all worlds, or the latter if it can change
|
|
between worlds. World-specific configuration options are preferred whenever
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
This is adding a new miscellaneous setting that doesn't seem to fit in other categories.
|
|
Try to check and see if an existing category (inner class) exists that matches
|
|
whatever configuration option you are adding.
|
|
```java
|
|
public class GlobalConfiguration {
|
|
// other sections
|
|
public class Misc extends ConfigurationPart {
|
|
// other settings
|
|
public boolean lagCompensateBlockBreaking = true;
|
|
public boolean useDimensionTypeForCustomSpawners = false;
|
|
public int maxNumOfPlayers = 20; // This is the new setting
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
You set the type of the setting as the field type, and the default value is the
|
|
initial field value. The name of the setting defaults to the snake-case of the
|
|
field name, so in this case it would be `misc.max-num-of-players`. You can use
|
|
the `@Setting` annotation to override that, but generally just try to set the
|
|
field name to what you want the setting to be called.
|
|
|
|
#### Accessing the value
|
|
If you added a new global config value, you can access it in the code just by
|
|
doing
|
|
```java
|
|
int maxPlayers = GlobalConfiguration.get().misc.maxNumOfPlayers;
|
|
```
|
|
Generally for global config values you will use the fully qualified class name,
|
|
`io.papermc.paper.configuration.GlobalConfiguration` since it's not imported in
|
|
most places.
|
|
---
|
|
If you are adding a new world config value, you must have access to an instance
|
|
of the `net.minecraft.world.level.Level` which you can then access the config by doing
|
|
```java
|
|
int maxPlayers = level.paperConfig().misc.maxNumOfPlayers;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Committing changes
|
|
All changes to the `GlobalConfiguration` and `WorldConfiguration` files
|
|
should be done in the commit that created them. So do an interactive rebase
|
|
or fixup to apply just those changes to that commit, then add a new commit
|
|
that includes the logic that uses that option in the server somewhere.
|
|
|
|
## Testing API changes
|
|
|
|
### Using the Paper Test Plugin
|
|
|
|
The Paper project has a `test-plugin` module for easily testing out API changes
|
|
and additions. To use the test plugin, enable it in `test-plugin.settings.gradle.kts`,
|
|
which will be generated after running Gradle at least once. After this, you can edit
|
|
the test plugin, and run a server with the plugin using `./gradlew runDev` (or any
|
|
of the other Paper run tasks).
|
|
|
|
### Publishing to Maven local (use in external plugins)
|
|
|
|
To build and install the Paper APIs and Server to your local Maven repository, do the following:
|
|
|
|
- Run `./gradlew publishToMavenLocal` in the base directory.
|
|
|
|
If you use Gradle to build your plugin:
|
|
- Add `mavenLocal()` as a repository. Gradle checks repositories in the order they are declared,
|
|
so if you also have the Paper repository added, put the local repository above Paper's.
|
|
- Make sure to remove `mavenLocal()` when you are done testing, see the [Gradle docs](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html#sec:case-for-maven-local)
|
|
for more details.
|
|
|
|
If you use Maven to build your plugin:
|
|
- If you later need to use the Paper-API, you might want to remove the jar
|
|
from your local Maven repository.
|
|
If you use Windows and don't usually build using WSL, you might not need to
|
|
do this.
|
|
|
|
## Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
|
|
### I can't find the NMS file I need!
|
|
|
|
By default, Paper (and upstream) only import files we make changes to. If you
|
|
would like to make changes to a file that isn't present in `Paper-Server`'s
|
|
source directory, you just need to add it to our import script ran during the
|
|
patching process.
|
|
|
|
1. Save (rebuild) any patches you are in the middle of working on! Their
|
|
progress will be lost if you do not;
|
|
1. Identify the name(s) of the file(s) you want to import.
|
|
- A complete list of all possible file names can be found at
|
|
`./Paper-Server/.gradle/caches/paperweight/mc-dev-sources/net/minecraft/`. You might find
|
|
[MappingViewer] useful if you need to translate between Mojang and Spigot mapped names.
|
|
1. Open the file at `./build-data/dev-imports.txt` and add the name of your file to
|
|
the script. Follow the instructions there;
|
|
1. Re-patch the server `./gradlew applyPatches`;
|
|
1. Edit away!
|
|
|
|
> ❗ This change is temporary! **DO NOT COMMIT CHANGES TO THIS FILE!**
|
|
> Once you have made your changes to the new file, and rebuilt patches, you may
|
|
> undo your changes to `dev-imports.txt`.
|
|
|
|
Any file modified in a patch file gets automatically imported, so you only need
|
|
this temporarily to import it to create the first patch.
|
|
|
|
To undo your changes to the file, type `git checkout build-data/dev-imports.txt`.
|
|
|
|
### My commit doesn't need a build, what do I do?
|
|
|
|
Well, quite simple: You add `[ci skip]` to the start of your commit subject.
|
|
|
|
This case most often applies to changes to files like `README.md`, this very
|
|
file (`CONTRIBUTING.md`), the `LICENSE.md` file, and so forth.
|
|
|
|
### Patching and building is *really* slow, what can I do?
|
|
|
|
This only applies if you're running Windows. If you're running a prior Windows
|
|
release, either update to Windows 10/11 or move to macOS/Linux/BSD.
|
|
|
|
In order to speed up patching process on Windows, it's recommended you get WSL
|
|
2. This is available in Windows 10 v2004, build 19041 or higher. (You can check
|
|
your version by running `winver` in the run window (Windows key + R)). If you're
|
|
using an out of date version of Windows 10, update your system with the
|
|
[Windows 10 Update Assistant](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10) or [Windows 11 Update Assistant](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11).
|
|
|
|
To set up WSL 2, follow the information here:
|
|
<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install>
|
|
|
|
You will most likely want to use the Ubuntu apps. Once it's set up, install the
|
|
required tools with `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install $TOOL_NAMES
|
|
-y`. Replace `$TOOL_NAMES` with the packages found in the
|
|
[requirements](#requirements). You can now clone the repository and do
|
|
everything like usual.
|
|
|
|
> ❗ Do not use the `/mnt/` directory in WSL! Instead, mount the WSL directories
|
|
> in Windows like described here:
|
|
> <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/filesystems#view-your-current-directory-in-windows-file-explorer>
