List Of Shame
A non-exhaustive list of projects to be known to have rather unpleasant vibes.
- A lot of the #saveminecraft followers - Have devolved from somewhat reasonable arguments into a tinfoilhat factory, using mods that, ironic to their purpose, actually contain vulnerabilities or usually open yourself up to self-incrimination.
- 1.8, “An outdated version of Minecraft with more security issues than features!” - Hasn’t been updated
in quite a bunch of years.
- Every single closed-source (paid) 1.8 Paper fork on mcmarket, “[Optimized] [Cannons] [Everything is
multithreaded]” - Mostly just copied off each other with little to no actual work involved or improvements done, with
many even introducing major bugs or including security breaches.
- NFTWorlds - Selling Minecraft seeds and skins
on the blockchain
and getting mad at Mojang when
they disallowed their bad practices.
- StellarDev, “Stealing code, but professionally” - Aside from the usual closed-source Spigot
forks, get paid thousands to steal code without
attribution, bar a little slip up…
- Yatopia, SugarcaneMC
& Mirai, “The combined power of Paper forks for maximum instability!” - Tossed
salad of people that haven’t even really understood the patch system. And
yes, it’s that bad
- Hybrid Servers (Forge/Something else + Bukkit) “Smash two separate APIs together into a mess” - Servers that combine two incompatible APIs and break them both in the process.
- Songoda, “The one-stop sketchy marketplace for Minecraft plugins” - Because it
doesn’t get more sketchy than Songoda.
- Yooniks - If you feel like you have too much money and you are looking
for closed-source forks of Bungee/Spigot, Yooniks is your guy. He’s so good, even MCM banned him.
- Kangarko, “Become hated now” - Who needs well-made, basically free Java courses
like JetBrains Academy if you can use Kangarko’s! Nowhere is safe from
advertising the service.
- NeruxVace, “Money ain’t got wings!” - Minigames network that won’t let anything stand in the
way of its urge for success, not even replacing the heads of staff every few months after they get fed up.
- EpicWorldGenerator - Because it sure is worth spending
$20 (originally $40) for something that has several free alternatives with the same features.
- WorldQL - Interesting project with a promising
idea, but with Sugarcane-level advertising, vastly blown out of proportion, and already containing countless 🚩 in
their Spigot plugin.
- EntityTrackerFixer, “Minecraft tracks alot of entities - so let’s
just not do that” - Just use Paper, man.
- PM2 - 10/10 review and resource bumping (not to be confused
with pm2 Process Manager).
- SunLight, “Advanced server management plugin with all the
plugin-breaking bugs your server needs!” - It takes RGB chat formatting to a whole other 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.
- ClearLagg, “Use one of ClearLagg’s many utilities to make lag”
- Causes more lag than it removes and doesn’t even know its own name.
- IllegalStack - Actually introduces
dupes, eats 15% of your ticks, and likes to do wonky things like removing nametags of players and entities.
- Slimefun, “It offers everything you could possibly imagine. From taking 70%
of your tick to clearing inventories at random!” - Tries to turn your server in an FTB modpack, but a lot more cursed.
- FastAsyncWorldEdit, “Fast async world exception” -
Fast, fast at breaking things.
- AsyncWorldEdit, “Async world exception” - Like
FAWE, but slower and breaking the WorldEdit license.
- CMI, “Over 280 must have bugs for your server!” - A substitute for
EssentialsX for the people that think paid=good.
- SkinsRestorer, “
System.out.println("[SkinsRestorer] ")
, try {} catch (Exception e) {}
”
- ViaVersion, “1.8-latest KitPVP” - Enables the evil to continue to
live.
- ProtocolSupport, - Like ViaBackwards, just with even
more evil.
- Retrooper
- Retrooper, again
- The Duper Trooper - Clickbait YouTube channel that “leaks”
often outdated exploits and other security related issues to the public and encourages its followers to report to them
instead of disclosing properly.
- kennytv - German streamer who has repeatedly failed to meet streaming obligations
- alexisl315 - Your go-to dev for laggy, inefficient skript recreations of popular plugins. Ignores any critique given in reviews and makes fake updates that only change a few lines at most.
