Chat message parameter is empty in 'chat' and 'whisper' events

[mdmanl]

Versions

• mineflayer: 4.23.0
• server: vanilla 1.21.1
• node: 20.0.0

Detailed description of a problem

When using the bot.on('chat') event, the message parameter is always empty, while the username is correctly captured.

What did you try yet?

I tried logging the parameters in the chat event and sending messages in chat, but the message parameter is consistently empty.

Your current code

const mineflayer = require('mineflayer')

const bot = mineflayer.createBot({
  host: 'localhost', // minecraft server ip
  username: 'Bot', // username to join as if auth is `offline`, else a unique identifier for this account. Switch if you want to change accounts
  auth: 'microsoft' // for offline mode servers, you can set this to 'offline'
})

bot.on('chat', (username, message) => {
  if (username === bot.username) return
  bot.chat(message)
})

// Log errors and kick reasons:
bot.on('kicked', console.log)
bot.on('error', console.log)

Expected behaviour

I expected the message parameter to contain the text of the message sent by other players in the chat.

I tested it on multiple Vanilla servers, just to find out just now that it's caused by a mod in my own client "No Chat Reports"

Are you using the mod "No Chat Reports"?

[mdmanl]

Is No Chat Reports causing this, still considered a bug that needs to be fixed, or can I close this?

Please give a working repro.

[mdmanl]

Please give a working repro.

Repro is already in this thread. As stated before it's the client mod of No Chat Reports. From what it looks from your screenshot, you are playing around with the Paper plugin instead?

Have same problem at vanilla server 1.21.1 paper. Mineflayer get empty messages from server, but server sends correct messages (authorization messages)

The server allows you to log in with and without a license, most likely this is the problem
