The upstream project (formerly smartcmd/MinecraftConsoles, now MCLCE/MinecraftConsoles) reorganized their in-game credits screen. This pulls in that restructure so our credits accurately reflect who the current and former upstream maintainers are, and points the attribution URL at the right place. codeHusky and mattsumi stay as Project Maintainers, and itsRevela is added alongside them. smartcmd, Patoke, and rtm516 move to a new Former Maintainers section. The contributor count ticks up from 100+ to 120+, and the credit URL at the bottom now reads github.com/MCLCE/MinecraftConsoles with a "(formerly smartcmd/MinecraftConsoles)" line underneath it.
On the README side, only the Star History chart URL was updated from smartcmd to MCLCE. The Nightly client and dedicated server download links stay pointed at itsRevela/LCE-Revelations since our fork has its own release pipeline.
Upstream attribution: d0786f95 by Loki Rautio. Applied as a partial cherry-pick with the two Nightly download URL hunks dropped and itsRevela added to the maintainer list.
The personal repo was renamed from itsRevela/MinecraftConsoles to itsRevela/LCE-Revelations, so this sweeps the rest of the codebase to match. In-game, the credits screen now shows "LCE-Revelations" instead of "MinecraftConsoles" as the project heading. In the README, the Nightly client and dedicated server download links point at the new repo URL, and the Docker image reference is now ghcr.io/itsrevela/lce-revelations-dedicated-server. The dedicated server's generated server.properties file also picks up a new header comment reflecting the rename.
For folks building from source: the CMake project name was renamed, so when you configure the build the generated solution file is now LCE-Revelations.sln instead of MinecraftConsoles.sln. The Nix flake description and the Nightly release uploader script were updated to match, and a historical FourKit port reconnaissance document was removed since that port is already complete.
Also restored the Fluxer server link at the top of the README, which was lost when the repo was fast-forwarded from the upstream that got griefed.
- Protect PlayerList and ServerConnection players vectors with critical
sections; all iterations use copy-on-read snapshots to prevent iterator
invalidation during concurrent join/leave
- Add null check on player bounding box in movement validation to prevent
crash when player is removed mid-tick
- Re-validate socket player pointer immediately before SendData to narrow
the TOCTOU race window on disconnect
- Replace inline disconnect cleanup with a queued system drained on the
main tick thread, eliminating the done_cs -> m_playersCS lock inversion
that caused deadlocks under load
- Disable Windows QuickEdit mode at server startup to prevent console
input selection from freezing the process
- Move chunk priority sort behind ServerConnection::sortPlayersByChunkPriority()
to keep the players vector lock-protected
Renames release artifacts, Docker image, container/service names,
and shell wrappers from the legacy LCRE prefix to LCE-Revelations.
* Banner asset: LCRE-banner.png to LCE-Revelations-banner.png
* Docker compose service and container: minecraft-lce-dedicated-server
to lce-revelations-dedicated-server
* ghcr image: ghcr.io/itsrevela/minecraft-lce-dedicated-server to
ghcr.io/lce-hub/lce-revelations-dedicated-server
* Dockerfile MC_RUNTIME_DIR default points at the CMake build output
path now that the legacy x64/ MSBuild path is no longer produced
* README and helper shell scripts updated to match
Workflow rename for nightly.yml release notes is folded into the
FourKit commit because the FourKit CI changes overwhelm the diff.
The previous IQNet cleanup in handleRemoveEntity fired on every entity
despawn, which happens both when a player goes out of tracking range
and when they disconnect. This caused players to vanish from the Tab
list whenever they moved beyond render distance.
Introduce two custom payload channels (MC|ForkHello, MC|ForkPLeave) so
the client can distinguish "out of range" from "actually left":
- Server sends MC|ForkHello during login to identify itself as a fork
- Server sends MC|ForkPLeave with the player's gamertag on disconnect
- Client skips IQNet cleanup in handleRemoveEntity on fork servers
- Client cleans up IQNet only when MC|ForkPLeave arrives
Fully backwards-compatible: no existing packet wire formats changed.
Upstream clients ignore the unknown channels, fork clients on upstream
servers fall back to the old entity-tracking-based cleanup.
Rewire the SWF focus chain via Iggy so VSync, Fullscreen, and Render
Distance are reachable with keyboard/gamepad navigation.
Cap render distance slider at 16 chunks. Shift graphics menu layout
up 60px for better centering.
Fix skin preview walk/attack animations running too fast with VSync
off by scaling per-frame increments by delta time relative to 60fps.
StorageManager.SaveSaveData() blocks until the disk write completes.
Calling it from the game thread caused 2.5s freezes. Now it only runs
from TickCoreSystems() on the ServerMain thread, which operates
independently of the game tick loop.
Move StorageManager.AllocateSaveData() back under the save lock (called
on the game thread before releasing). Background thread now only does
pure zlib compression with no StorageManager calls.
Add CommitPendingAsyncSave() to both the game thread tick and
TickCoreSystems() to ensure saves commit during bootstrap, normal
gameplay, and shutdown.
Autosave previously froze the main thread for 2-6 seconds while
compressing the entire save file with zlib. Now the save buffer is
snapshotted under the lock (~18ms), then compression runs on a
background thread. The compressed data is committed to StorageManager
on the next main-thread tick via CommitPendingAsyncSave().
Also skip redundant full chunk saves during autosave on the dedicated
server -- chunks are already persisted by the per-tick trickle save.
Only entity data is flushed, matching Xbox/Orbis behavior.
Added per-step timing to the autosave handler for diagnostics.
The security gate was closed before LoginPacket was sent in placeNewPlayer,
causing all login setup packets to be buffered behind the cipher handshake.
Under high-latency connections, the flushed data arrived before the player
object was initialized, causing a null pointer crash. The gate now closes
after the login sequence and MC|CKey are sent.
Bypass the 4J RenderManager's hardcoded SyncInterval=1 by calling
the DXGI swap chain directly with Present(0, ALLOW_TEARING) when
VSync is disabled. Falls back to the library's Present on failure.
Relocate VSync/Fullscreen setting flags from bits 18-19 to bits 24-25
to eliminate overlap with the render distance byte (bits 16-23).
Sync the Fullscreen game setting when F11 is pressed so the graphics
menu checkbox stays accurate.
Remove tracked DumpSwf.class (already covered by tools/*.class gitignore).
Display hardcore heart textures when a world is in hardcore mode,
matching Java Edition behavior. Hearts switch between normal/hardcore
across all states (poison, wither, flash) and all HUD resolutions.
C++ changes:
- IUIScene_HUD: check isHardcore() and call SetHardcoreMode() each tick
- UIScene_HUD: send hardcore boolean to Flash via Iggy, invalidate
SetHealth dirty check on state change to force heart redraw
- CreateWorldMenu/LoadMenu: lock game mode to Survival when hardcore
- MinecraftServer: gate server.properties hardcore override behind
MINECRAFT_SERVER_BUILD so offline worlds preserve their saved flag
SWF changes (via new Java tools):
- AddHardcoreBitmaps: adds 10 hardcore heart bitmaps to graphics SWFs
- AddHardcoreHearts: adds 10 new frames (15-24) to health sprite
- PatchHudABC: patches HUD ActionScript bytecode with SetHardcore
method and frame offset logic (+14 normal/poison, +6 wither)
Also updates README changelog styling with consistent ### headings.
Move screenshot capture from Minecraft::tick() (which requires an
active player) to the Windows64 main loop alongside other global
key handlers (F1/F3/F11). F2 now works from the main menu, pause
menu, settings, inventory, crafting, and all other screens. Chat
message still shown when in-game.
Replace the XOR obfuscation cipher with AES-128-CTR using the Windows
BCrypt API. Key material grows from 16 to 32 bytes (16 AES key + 16 IV).
All callers auto-adjust via StreamCipher::KEY_SIZE. No handshake or
protocol changes needed beyond the larger MC|CKey payload.
Comprehensive security system to protect against packet-sniffing attacks,
XUID harvesting, privilege escalation, bot flooding, and XUID impersonation.
- Stream cipher: per-session XOR cipher with 4-message handshake via
CustomPayloadPacket (MC|CKey, MC|CAck, MC|COn). Negotiated per-connection,
backwards compatible (old clients/servers fall back to plaintext).
- Security gate: buffers all game data until cipher handshake completes,
preventing unsecured clients from receiving any XUIDs or game state.
- Cipher handshake enforcer: kicks clients that don't complete the handshake
within 5 seconds (configurable via require-secure-client).
- Identity tokens: persistent per-XUID tokens in identity-tokens.json,
issued over the encrypted channel, verified on reconnect. Prevents XUID
replay attacks. Client stores server-specific tokens.
- PROXY protocol v1: parses real client IPs from playit.gg tunnel headers
so rate limiting, IP bans, and XUID spoof detection work per-player.
- Rate limiting: per-IP sliding window (default 5 connections/30s) with
pending connection cap (default 10).
- Privilege hardening: OP requires ops.json, live checks on every command
and privilege packet. Host-only server settings changes.
- XUID stripping: PreLoginPacket response sends INVALID_XUID placeholders.
- Packet validation: readUtf global string cap, reduced max packet size,
stream desync protection on oversized strings.
- OpManager: persistent ops.json with XUID-based OP list.
- Whitelist improvements: whitelist add accepts player names with ambiguity
detection, XUID cache from login attempts.
- revoketoken command: revoke identity tokens for players who lost theirs.
- server.log: persistent log file written alongside console output with
flush-per-write to survive crashes.
- CLI security logging: consolidated per-join security summary with cipher
status, token status, XUID, and real IP. Security warnings for kicks,
spoofing, and unauthorized commands.
The tab player list and teleport menu now show the correct map marker
color for each player. The icon is computed using the same hash as the
map renderer (getRandomPlayerMapIcon) and stored by player name,
bypassing the unreliable small-ID lookup that produced wrong colors
on dedicated servers.
Dragon melee damage: reassign sub-entity IDs to be sequential from
the parent entity ID in ServerLevel::entityAdded(), so the client's
offset-based ID calculation matches the server. Previously the server's
smallId pool allocated non-sequential IDs, causing melee attacks to
target entity IDs the server didn't recognize.
End portal transition: ensure the player entity is always added to the
new level when transitioning from The End, not just for non-End
dimensions. The addEntity call was previously gated behind a
lastDimension != 1 check that also excluded it from End exits.
End Poem crash: bounds-check the WIN_GAME event's player index before
accessing localplayers[], with a fallback to prevent null dereference
when the server sends an out-of-range index.
Register remote players in the client's IQNet array when their
AddPlayerPacket arrives, so they appear in the Tab player list.
Previously only the host and local player were registered.
Also filter the dedicated server's phantom host entry (slot 0, empty
gamertag) from the UI, fix tick() to update entries by smallId instead
of sequential index, and fix player removal to use gamertag matching
since XUIDs are 0 on dedicated servers.
Resolve _minecraft._tcp.<hostname> SRV records before connecting,
matching Java Edition behavior. Players can connect using just a domain
name and the client will look up the actual server address and port
from DNS. Falls back to the original hostname/port if no SRV record
exists or the address is a numeric IP.
triggerEvent() set ignoreUpdate to true at the start but three early
return paths (lines 221, 225, 250) skipped the reset at the end. Once
any of these paths was hit (common with fast redstone clocks where the
signal state changes between event queuing and processing), the TLS
flag stayed true permanently, blocking all piston neighbor updates for
the rest of the server session.
Clear the 5-second SO_RCVTIMEO that was set during the connection
handshake but never removed. The timeout persisted into the game
session, causing the client to disconnect whenever the server paused
for longer than 5 seconds (e.g. autosave, chunk I/O).
Also update README with chunk unloading and connection stability fixes.
The dedicated server previously picked a completely random seed with no
biome diversity checks (the client validates but the server skipped it).
On top of that, the client's findSeed() was hardcoded to only check a
54-chunk (Classic) area, so Large worlds had no diversity guarantee
beyond the center.
New server worlds now use findSeed() scaled to the full target world
size. Added override-seed in server.properties to fix existing worlds
without deleting them.
Server list: edits and deletions now update the UI immediately by
calling SearchForGames() in ForceFriendsSessionRefresh() and
UpdateGamesList() on nav-back to LoadOrJoinMenu.
Connection: moved WinsockNetLayer::JoinGame() to a background thread
with non-blocking sockets (5s timeout, 3 retries). Users can cancel
with B/Escape during the attempt. Failed connections always show an
error dialog.
