So /tick is now available in vanilla. Well, most of it is. Obviously only one could exist at a time, meaning /tick from carpet is gone, so here is the gist... mhm... of what happened, what is covered, what is lost and what might not be lost forever. This is not a writeup from a Mojang developer, it's a writeup from a mod developer whose part of the mod just got obsolete by a gaming studio.

The good

/tick on its own, as a query command, is moved to vanilla /tick query providing much more information about the health of the game tick. Tick performance and tick targets are also now way better handled in F3 and especially F3+2 screens, but if you are not in singleplayer or run the server with your game, a better information directly from the server through /tick query may come in handy.

/tick rate now exists as a vanilla command. It is limited on the lower end to 1 tps (not 0.1 tps like in carpet) to get a more responsive chat (the only reason so far tbh), but due to improvements to h

In 1.21?

Moonrise contains Starlight as well as a lot of server-side optimisations.

Final change of plans (March 8, 2024)

I don't see that many people are using Starlight on modern versions anymore. As such, I don't see any reason to continue to maintain the mod versions, given that they do have real mod conflict issues with other mods. Starlight is also not neccessary to use on 1.20.x anyways.

Signed chat

This gist intends on clearing up some of the misinformation surrounding signed chat/the reporting feature Mojang has added to Minecraft 1.19.1. Here you can find both technical information as well as a general explanation of how these work.

Profile keys

After joining a server, clients now send a profile key used for verifying a message's authenticity. This key and thus the whole signing process is optional, but by default, servers enforce secure profiles for clients to send chat messages. Whenever the player sends a chat message and has a key associated, the message will be signed using their own private key, which the server then verifies using the public key sent after join. Assuming signature, timestamp, and message contents line up, the message goes through.

On the other end, clients can also require all broadcasted player messages to be signed, disregarding the ones without sender verified signatures.

Recommended Paper Anti-Xray settings by stonar96

General

Anti-Xray can be configured per world in the paper.yml configuration file. To understand how per world configuration works please read this first. Note that after changing any settings for Anti-Xray you have to restart your server. Executing the /reload command (you should never do this) won't apply the settings to worlds that are already loaded.
