VulnerabilityPatcher

VulnerabilityPatcher is a lightweight Spigot 1.13.2 plugin that is currently developed by CoolJWB. Its basics features are to remove the ability for users to use harmful exploits. It's made in such a way to be as simple as possible to use while still maintaining options to get more advanced.

Patches:

  • Books: Removes commands inside of books preventing admins to accidentally run harmful commands.
  • CrashEggs: Prevents eggs that crash the server from being used.
  • CrashItems: Removes items that crash the client.
  • DeathItems: Removes items that put a player in an infinite death loop (making them unable to respawn).
  • DeathPotions: Prevents potions that kill creative players.
  • DisconnectItems: Removes and prevents items that disconnect players from the server.
  • FollowRange: Prevents monsters from crashing the server.
  • PlayerKnockback: Prevents players from crashing the server.
  • RougeEntity: Removes rouge entities preventing server and client crashes.
  • TridentRiptide: Prevents Riptide from crashing the server.

Installing:

  1. Go to https://github.com/CoolJWB/VulnerabilityPatcher/releases
  2. Download the latest build.
  3. Move the file to the server plugins folder.
  4. Restart the server.
  5. If there are any issues, follow the troubleshooting steps.

Updating:
If you are using the first BETA, v0.1 or v0.1.1 you need to remove the config.yml to update it. In all future versions, the plugin will update the config automatically.

Troubleshooting and errors:

If you are having issues with the plugin and not getting any errors try these things:

  1. Double check that the plugin is located in the plugins folder.

If you are having issues with the plugin and it's giving errors:

  1. Make sure you are running Spigot 1.13.2 you can check this by doing "version" in the server console.
  2. Is the config.yml setup properly?

Common errors:

  1. "Did not find the ConfVersion in config.yml": In v0.1.2 the ConfVersion was introduced in the config.yml to identify in what version the config was last updated in. If you see this message you may either have removed the ConfVersion in your config.yml or your config.yml haven't been updated since before v0.1.1.
  2. "Could not update the config: ...": This happens when there's an issue with checking for config updates the config.yml. In this case, there should be a simple message explaining what went wrong.

Issues:
If you belive that there are any issues with the plugin don't hesitate to make a new issue!
