Minestom support

[nicolasvac]

As minestom is rising in popularity for building custom minigame servers, it would be great to have floodgate support built in.

For reference, minestom website: https://minestom.net/

Yea that would kind of require rewriting a stupidly large amount of code... It's not like you can just change a word in a file and it'll just magically work, the way floodgate interacts with the server's auth is made to work with Mojang code (afaik) and minestom says they have zero of mojang's code.

[Konicai]

Minestom still does authentication though. And floodgate on minestom might be cleaner due to a more open API

[nicolasvac]

Minestom does support Mojang Auth, and i see it as an advantage to have completely bloat free and decompiled code from Mojang.

Also in Minestom you have the ability to choose what to implement, so it definetely the could would look much cleaner for the minestom implementation.

Yes, we need it!

We need only floodgate that receives proxy floodgate data, not geyser addon.

[tbvns1]

I want it too. But I think it would take to rewrite the entire code of floodgate to make it work. So I won't be sad if I learn you don't want to make it.

It seems like the primary difference is that Floodgate currently relies heavily on Netty being present in the server, which Minestom does not use. That wouldn't stop anyone from creating something that reads our injected data in the handshake and parsing it properly, though. I don't think it's viable for us to maintain another platform that we aren't familiar with, anyway.

[Codestech1]

I know, it's hard. But minestom is better for optimization and it's time to move to better server software. You're made floodgate-fabroc then you can make floodgate-minestom too.

[Konicai]

Just because "we can", doesn't mean we should. You've just been told that most of us are not familiar with it, and as a result, it wouldn't be maintained well. The Fabric ports of Geyser and Fabric already suffer more issues because they are lower priority.

Arguing about the priority of this and sounding entitled while doing so isn't going to move this forward anywhere.

I have idea how to make it. It will need be on Proxy and Minestom and will have custom api. It will create custom Form object that can be send in plugin messaging channel via ObjectOutputStream. When proxy reveive custom form object via ObjectInputStream it will be converted to cumulus form and sent to player.
If it's possible i will make it. Comming soon! (Sorry for bad English btw)

[Codestech1]

I made basic floodgate for minestom.

I'd like to know how many people would like to see Minestom support, before we'd add support for another platform. Please add a 👍 to the initial comment of this issue if you'd actually use it.
