The bug

Whenever we type a command in any server connected to bungeecord or try to chat.
It shows error "Chat validation Error" and kicks us out of the server. This is getting really annoying for everyone and is resulting in heavy bug as well as playerbase loss.

When we tried switching temporarily from Bungeecord to Velocity proxy type, the issue got solved. And when we Again switched to Bungeecord, it came again.

Checking

• I am using BungeeCord and not a fork. Issues with forks should not be reported here.
• I think this is not an issue with a bungeecord plugin.
• I have not read these checkboxes and therefore I just ticked them all.
• This is not a question or plugin creation help request.

It is sad that you are unwilling to read the checkboxes.

I am positive that using 1.8 client and 1.8 server that no chat validation error will occurr. This is well within your stated versions.

Bungeecord and its maintainers and contributors are not responsible for playerbase losses as per LICENSE. Please keep a bug report to the bug. You could have tested this yourself easily before putting the update live.

I can chat just fine joining my 1.20.4 test spigot server with 1.20.4 client through BungeeCord (with bungee being online_mode: true).

I suspect a configuration problem. Show all potentially relevant configuration options (for example options related to: online-mode, ip/uuid forwarding, secure profile) of the configuration files (bungee config, server properties, spigot yml).

Sir i dont think what you are saying is right.
I agree online-mode is false since its a cracked server.

But its not me who is facing this issue, its my audience which is facing this issue sir.
Please look into it if possible even from view of a cracked server.

Also, secure-profile enforcement is false.

It doesn't matter if you or your audience faces the issue. It does not matter if your audience is 10 or 10000 people.
The impact of the issue you have is "players get kicked when trying to chat". That is enough to prioritize issues.

However your intial report is missing crucial information and was sloppily created. Apart from the thing about imprecise versions I already mentioned, you for example you ticked the checkbox "I have not read these checkboxes and therefore I just ticked them all." (which I humorously mentioned in my first sentence in my first reply).

I did not know you have a cracked server and my first reply and anything I write on this github repository is unrelated to cracked or not-cracked servers.

As you say that your server is a cracked server, this issue should be very easily solved by altering the configuration.

Although I asked for a bunch of config options, you provided only two values. And you did not tell which config file you took them from.
enforce secure profile for example is a config option in vanilla server.properties and bungeecord's config.yml
is it false in both files??
If you would've provide all the information I requested specifically after reading the problem you have, helping you would likely be faster and easier.

Your initial report's sloppiness combined with the sheer mentioning of "playerbase loss" sounds uppish compared to usual reports. In case you are using a machine translation, it might be some sort of mistranslation and in that case, my replies might've been a little too aggressive.
