↩  CoolestGuy94 Instead, this screen appears.

This is a feature of @"videogamesm12"#4's WNT mod. It's not vanilla at all, and servers can't prompt for this kind of screen anyways. Not every admin is going to have his mod installed.

I don't know the exact reason for books being disabled in TFM, but I have a few ideas and responses to those theoretical reasons.

Written Books were disabled to counteract NBT-banning: If so, that's quite honestly the stupidest patch I've ever seen in my life. Not only is that incredibly easy to bypass using hotbars or the Set Creative Slot packet, Written Books aren't even the root of the issue. Items, in Minecraft, can hold any NBT. You can give an item whatever tag you want, and the game will think it's correct. Now, that's a bit of an issue, because that means you can write a simple program to put thousands of characters of large Chinese unicode text, under a unique key (which Minecraft will just accept). I've been able to ban people on servers like Kaboom with a piece of paper with the only tag being a long Chinese name.

Written Books were disabled to counteract ClickEvent abuse: This is the most probable & sane reason for disabling. If so, I don't believe this really fixes the problem. It's like a doctor diagnosing you with Athlete's foot and then proceeding to cut off both your legs and one of your hands. I mean, sure, you'll no longer have Athlete's foot but you'll be in some sort of mobility device for the rest of your life. I believe we should disable run_command click events in Written Books (and by extension Lecterns with Written Books in them) in Scissors, as a configurable option.

Vouch.

If an admin who went inactive half a decade ago, went inactive and got their role removed and then joins and plays on the server for 5 minutes or half an hour, under the current system they'd be given admin.

I think voting should be made mandatory and inactivity reinstatements not automatically accepted.

what does _overflux have to do with this? XD

Vouch, you're a good Discord moderator so I have no doubt that you'll be a good fit for the Minecraft moderation team.

(I wasn't around during the time you had exec/admin, so I can't really vouch based on your previous stint administrating)

↩  Tizz Tough luck. There's nothing forcing mod authors to update their mods.

Use a seperate MultiMC instance for SongPlayer, or modify the fabric.mod.json of outdated mods to be equal to the latest version of Minecraft and cross your fingers and hope it works.

↩  hhhzzzsss Additionally, if Alco_Rs11 doesn't want announcements and private messages to appear in the action bar due to what is believed to be a ViaVersion bug, I made a small mod for it.

↩  CoolestGuy94 I haven't noticed any performance decreases in 1.19.

Plex v TFM

Object deleite this trread

My tip is to be not be afraid of learning from others' code and googling errors (or even tasks you can't figure out to do) you get. Applies to all programming languages, not just Java. Sure, if you're doing that 5 years after learning Java, you've got an issue, but for learners and hobbyists that's the best way to learn. I've never taken those "Learn Java in 3 hours" or "Learn Java in 5 minutes" courses because I find them horrible resources to learn from. But, maybe those courses can help you. I personally can't recommend them.

Object, your appeal shows no sincerity and it's been far too short of a timeframe since your suspension & ban for anyone to forgive you...

I suggest that they're removed from blocked-versions in the ViaVersion plugin configuration. I don't think much effort should be put into supporting these versions beyond that.

Versions before Update Aquatic have been reported to have marginally better performance, which I think would benefit both people with lower-end hardware and people who don't want Minecraft to eat up their CPU and RAM.

↩  Panther Yeah, but they can just forge the “reportable content” on their end. What happens when someone clicks a click event that makes them send a message that violates the guidelines?

If Mojang has half a brain, they won't let the client sign chat messages sent by click events. But honestly, it's Mojang, predicting what they're going to do is like trying to predict an earthquake...

I think a large majority of the criticism waged towards the chat reporting system is unfounded and purely fearmongering

Here's my post debunking and offering my thoughts on most of these things.

Chat Forging & Fradulent Reports

No, 1337 hackers cannot haxx into the Big Mojang mainframe and file billions of reports against your account, doing so would most likely get THEM permanently banned from Minecraft instead. And also, I imagine the endpoint would be heavily limited.

False banning

This is happens with every sort of moderation/report system that's ever been invented. Of course, Mojang have an appeals section, in-case you truly were falsebanned.

Anarchy servers

Seeing as the biggest anarchy server as of the moment (2b2t of course) is running on 1.12.2, which entirely lacks any sort of chat signature system (the thing that allows chat reporting to be feasible in the first place), it's not going to affect it. At all.

I'd like to bring attention to this section of the Minecraft Eula (which every server has to agree to):

Quote

If you are going to make something available on or through our Game, it must not be offensive to people or illegal, it must be honest, and it must be your own creation. Some examples of the types of things you must not make available using our Game include: posts that include racist or homophobic language; posts that are bullying or trolling; posts that are offensive or that damage our or another person's reputation; posts that include porn or someone else's creation or image; or posts that impersonate a moderator or try to trick or exploit people.

Any content you make available on our Game must also be your creation or you must have permission or the legal right to do it. You must not and you agree that you will not make any content available, using the Game that infringes the rights of others.

We reserve the right to take down any content in our discretion.

tl;dr This means Mojang are allowed to moderate (or take down) anything that occurs on the server, for any reason.

Anarchy servers may have no rules, but Minecraft does and it has since 2014 (when the EULA was introduced). It's just that now, Mojang have allocated more resources towards enforcing it. By agreeing to the eula in eula=true, you're agreeing to Mojang being able to moderate your server for you, even if you don't like that.

Spigot

The chat reports don't work on Spigot anyways, as said by kennytv here (a maintainer of Paper).

In Conclusion

This won't affect the end player in any way. Unless you're spamming racial slurs or making bomb threats on Minecraft, you aren't going to get banned from the entirety of Minecraft. And also, if you're going to do that, I'd recommend choosing a better place than a block game...

↩  videogamesm12 It's a very vague statement. I don't think it's really fair to make any sort of assumption from it... but from what I can guess from that vague statement, it means that the moderators will know that the message has been forged. That doesn't imply they're going to ban anyone for it.

The only thing updating ViaVersion does is allow 1.19 clients to connect to the server. That's it. I highly doubt there being an existence of a "magical ViaVersion chat signature packet".

Vouch you're funny
