FakePlayerPlugin

v2.0.3 (Beta)

Fixed — Left-Click Mining Could Get a Bot Kicked ("Invalid Entity Attacked")

• While mining, a held left-click resolves its target with the same combined block+entity ray a real client uses — but unlike a real client, nothing stopped it from picking a dropped item, XP orb, or arrow floating near the block it was breaking and sending an attack packet at it. The vanilla server disconnects any client that attacks one of those (multiplayer.disconnect.invalid_entity_attacked) — a real client's own UI never lets you target them with left-click, so this path only existed because a bot drives raw packets directly. The crosshair ray trace in LeftClickCommand now excludes Item, ExperienceOrb, and AbstractArrow from valid attack targets, matching what AttackCommand's ray trace (via Entity#isAttackable()) already did.

Fixed — Bot Nametag Could Be Permanently Lost

• The bot's floating name tag is a real world entity (a TextDisplay), so anything capable of removing an entity — /kill, WorldEdit, another plugin's cleanup pass — could remove it. The periodic refresh loop only checked whether its cached reference was null, not whether the entity was still valid, so an externally-removed tag never came back. It now checks isValid() and respawns the tag within half a second (10 ticks) of it disappearing, making the tag effectively unremovable instead of merely "usually present."

Added — ViaVersion-Aware Bot Connections

• A bot's connection never performs a real handshake/login, so ViaVersion (when installed) had no record of it — any lookup of the bot's protocol version came back empty, which is the source of console warnings about not being able to determine a bot's client version. Bots are now registered with Via's connection manager as running the server's own native protocol version (i.e. "no translation needed"), using the same UserConnectionImpl + ProtocolPipelineImpl construction Via's own channel initializer uses for a real connection, and unregistered again on despawn. Entirely reflective and a no-op if ViaVersion isn't installed or its internals ever change shape.
