gaslight VS FreedomChat

you are in the full capability to report someone for saying that though, because others could’ve found it violent and extreme. plus it’s not only yelling that’s bad, but you can be reported for a lot of confusing situations, such as: killing yourself to go back home with keep inventory on can be reported for suicidal actions, greifing someone’s base can be seen as bullying, and there will be tons of faulty reports to the point where the chat reporting won’t even serve a purpose of good, but a purpose of a weapon. there are even mods that can alter and utilize be inconsistencies of chat reporting (https://github.com/nodusclient/gaslight) that will end up making mojang remove mods entirely to fix their stupid problematic update.

It can still be abused.

Minecraft players when this

Release 1.19.1 has several player security issues that allow players to falsify chat reports via gaslight, plus the general community either will reluctantly or outright will not update (which they rightfully should not). I highly encourage not updating until mojang either removes or modifies chat reporting to be more in favor of server admins.

chat reporting definitely needs to exist but its clearly not ready in its current place. there are all ready three chat reporting mods that mess with it and can abuse it. 1 2 3. so heres my suggestion: make it like the recent combat updates but a lot more frequent. make it so that every week or two theres a chat reporting snapshot where players can test and report bugs and exploits with it so it can be the best system it possibly can. this makes players more comfortable with it, fixes bugs, and just overall makes it better if they listen to constructive feedback. once its in a good state they will just release it in whatever the next version is, whether that be 1.20, 1.20.1 or even 1.21.

If you own a Minecraft 1.19.1 server running Paper or any of its forks (not compatible with Spigot), install this plugin to effectively disable the reporting feature on your server: https://github.com/sulu5890/FreedomChat

For server owners too, this is would be a lot more effective. https://github.com/Oharass/FreedomChat If the owner does not want to install such plugin, then at the very last have enforce-secure-profile set to off as its defaulted to on. This allows the chat mod to work on the client side.
