After watching some videos about Minecraft's chat reporting system (good job, youtube recommendation system), I decided to try to mess around with fabric API.
I have never written a mod before.
@skyblond What mod do you want to make?
@trinsec
Not sure yet. But considering my poor ability on generating creative content, I might focus on functionality mods. And I think the report system would be a good starting point. I'd like to see what can I do with that.
There is a huge offline Minecraft community in China (offline means the server is running on offline mode, aka, piracy). People have their own rip-off of mojang service, like authentication and skin service. I never take a deep look into them since I thought purchasing the game make life much easier.
With the chat reports system mentioned earlier, I want to seek some possibilities to reach "de-mojanglization". The reporting system can be useful under server scope. Maybe I can implement the SSO for Minecraft? And I want to know more about the game behind the opengl rendered UI (especially I'm a Java programmer).
@skyblond Mm interesting. I own the game legally but never played on any Mojang/Microsoft servers. I've always used the Java version, and all my buddies own the game legally as well and we host our own (Java) servers, away from the big corps.
@trinsec From what I learned today, from 1.19.1 with the message signing and chat report system, private servers will become Mojang's properties too even if it is running in offline mode (Aizistral's opinion).
I'm curious if we can wipe out Mojang's server completely on both client and server sides by simply modding it. Those Chinese rip-off services offer a similar account system where you can set your username, upload your skin, etc., and login in using a special launcher. I don't know if that work on 1.19.X (all server and client has a hard-coded Mojang's public key) or if it violates the EULA (f*ck Microsoft, LOL). But anyway, I think a federative Minecraft account would be interesting.
