List Of Shame
A non-exhaustive list of projects to be known to have rather unpleasant vibes.
- Yatopia, "The combined power of Paper forks for maximum instability and unmaintainablity!" - Messy, tossed salad of people that haven't even really understood the patch system.
- SkinsRestorer, "
System.out.println("[SkinsRestorer] "),try {} catch (Exception e) {}" - The cleanest code it has comes from one-time contributors. - FlameCord, "Are you sick of using sane, open-source software? Try this MC-market Travertine fork!"
- EntityTrackerFixer, "Minecraft tracks alot of entities - so let's disable that, who needs entities to work as intended anyway ;^)"
- Literally any closed-source (paid) 1.8 Paper fork on mcmarket, "[Optimized] [Cannons] [Everything is multithreaded]" - Mostly just copied off each other with little to no actual work involved or improvements done, with many even introducing major bugs or including security breaches.
- Hyperion - someone tried to exclude them from the above bullet point, then tried to remove this mention of their original PR in a new PR, while also having a miner running on their GitHub Pages.
- Kangarko, "Become self-hated now" - Who needs well-made, free Java courses like JetBrains Academy anyways, if you can use Kangarko's overpriced one! Uses every place humanly possible to advertise his service, and likes to silently push blame towards other people.
- Latest victim of Kangarko's blame: All of SpigotMC
- ClearLagg, "Use one of ClearLagg's many utilities to make lag" - Causes more lag than it removes and doesn't even know its own name.
- CMI, "Over 280 must have bugs for your server!" - A (non-)substitute for EssentialsX for the people that think paid=good.
- Songoda, "The one top sketchy marketplace for Minecraft plugins" - Because it doesn't get more sketchy than Songoda.
- NeruxVace, "Money ain't got wings!" - Minigames network that won't let anything stand in the way of its urge for "success". Whether it's paying developers, or simply following up on (legal-)agreements - Noah Kemm doesn't need any of that!
- 1.8, "An outdated version of Minecraft with more security issues than features!" - Hasn't been updated in 6 years.
- ViaVersion "1.8-1.16 KitPVP" - Enables the evil to continue to live.
- ProtocolSupport - Like ViaBackwards, just with more evil.
- Slimefun "It offers everything you could possibly imagine. From taking 70% of your tick to clearing inventories at random!" - Tries to turn your server in an FTB modpack... tries to.
- FastAsyncWorldEdit "It's async, so that means it's better!" - Aims to be a fast fork of WorldEdit, it sure is fast, fast at breaking things.
- IllegalStack "Dupe & Exploit fixer" - Actually introduces dupes, eats 15% of your ticks, and likes to do wonky things like removing nametags of players and entities.
- EpicWorldGenerator "Get the best lagg you can buy for money" - Because it sure is worth spending $20 (originally $40) for something that has several free alternatives with the same features.
- Let's also point out the fact that it is based almost entirely on code directly stolen from a free mod (Realistic World Gen)
- TeslaAntiCheat "Protect your server from cheaters! As well as regular players and performance." - Anticheat solution made in Skript, inefficiency on top of inneficiency. If it isn't a sin by itself the fact that it is paid makes it worse. If it doesn't destroy your server the three dependencies it requires surely will.
Disclaimer
This list does not mean you must not use any of the above mentioned, or that any of them are truly horrible, but just that some random person on the internet considers some of their (design) choices questionable. Take it lightly and please correct any plainly wrong information. :) Have a nice day, k thx bai.
