List Of Shame
A non-exhaustive list of dank projects.
- #saveminecraft
- 1.8 - Has more exploits and security issues than days it is old.
- 1.7 - Like 1.8 but worse and even older.
- Every closed-source, paid (1.8) Paper fork - “[Optimized] [Cannons] [Everything is
multithreaded].” If this list can give one piece of serious advice: Do not waste your money on them.
- NFTWorlds - Selling Minecraft seeds and skins
on the blockchain
and getting mad at Mojang for
disallowing their wonderful practices.
- StellarDev, Aside from the usual closed-source Spigot
forks, get paid to steal code without
attribution, bar a little slip up…
- Yatopia, Mirai - Ouch.
- Hybrid Servers (Forge/Something else + Bukkit) - Servers that combine
two incompatible APIs and break them both in the process.
- PolyMC - Common sense and decency? Never heard of her.
- Songoda - We still tell tales of one of the most sketchy plugin marketplaces.
- Yooniks - If you feel like you have too much money and you are looking
for closed-source forks of Bungee/Spigot, look no further.
- Kangarko - Advertising genius behind paid plugin-courses.
- EpicWorldGenerator - Because it sure is worth spending
$20 for something that has several free alternatives with the same features.
- WorldQL - A prime example of the power of
advertising, vastly blown out of proportion despite countless 🚩.
- Leaf - Optimizing already fast code by making it 10x slower (not to be confused with the also dumb Spottedleaf)
- EntityTrackerFixer - Minecraft tracks alot of entities - so let’s
just not do that.
- PM2 - 10/10 review and resource bumping (not to be confused
with pm2 Process Manager).
- SunLight - Taking RGB chat formatting to another level, parsing hex codes in
other plugins’ commands with the only way around that being
to use their library to convert them back.
- ProVotes - Premium in
the least premium way possible.
- Purpur - What if someone made a fork instead of just creating plugins doing the same things?
- ClearLagg - Causes more lag than it removes and doesn’t even know its own name.
- gitmoji - Using emojis on commit messages provides an easy way of
identifying the purpose or intention of a commit with only looking at the emojis used… as long as you can learn
the intended, sometimes overlapping use of 80 only vaguely cohesive emojis by heart (guess what 🍱 means).
- FastAsyncWorldEdit - Fast, fast at breaking things.
- AsyncWorldEdit - Like FAWE, but slower and breaking the WorldEdit license.
- CMI - A substitute for EssentialsX for the people that think paid=good. Also the only plugin in existence that had a ping command that
- parses placeholders in the optional player argument
- has a placeholder to send messages to the console
- makes that console display possible by having the console execute the argument in a command
- SkinsRestorer -
System.out.println("[SkinsRestorer] "), try {} catch (Exception e) {}”.
- ViaVersion - Continuously allows evil to exist.
- ProtocolSupport - Like ViaBackwards, just with even
more evil.
- Retrooper
- Retrooper, again
- The Duper Trooper - Clickbait YouTube channel that “leaks”
often outdated exploits and encourages bad habits around security issues.
- kennytv - German streamer who has repeatedly failed to meet streaming obligations
- alexisl315 - Your go-to dev for so bad it’s funny Skript recreations of
popular plugins.
