Player Turns Invisible

[RocketManKian]

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBku_wlBBc4

Description: When claiming a region there is a certain spot within that region (usually tends to be within the middle) where a player disappears when entering that chunk. When removing the region and relogging the chunk error is gone which is how I realised how it was this plugin. Within the video you can see my player at the left of the screen, sorry for the bad video haha I was split screening.

Here is the link to the region file too: https://pastebin.com/twdWPx7i

Thanks!

Had the same issue on my server, running latest version of the plugin. It's a modded server for FTB Continuum with

Minecraft: 1.12.2
SpongeAPI: 7.1.0-4ab0d1a5
Sponge: 1.12.2-7.1.6-SNAPSHOT
Sponge Forge 1.12.2-2768-7.1.6-RC3684
Minecraft Forge: 14.23.5.2796

Claimed area would have entities go invisible around the center of it, seems to be the entire world height. Disable the plugin and issue is gone.

This is really really strange, as the plugin doesn't handle entity render code directly. Might be some side effect for something, will see if I can reproduce the issue and trace back to the cause

[RocketManKian]

Yeah it is really strange. Is there an update on this case?

[JimiIT92]

Unfortunately not, I tried different approach in a local server but can't seem to replicate the case, even with the same region file :/

[RocketManKian]

Basically the way I recreated this was to make a decently sized region, I don’t think it matters though. Then I expanded this region vertically. I don’t believe adding flags is necessary. It may be the expansion that does it?

[JimiIT92]

I don't know, but if it is it's really weird, since all the expansion does is modify the region points and nothing else... I'll see if doing these steps will reproduce the problem. What size was the region created?

[RocketManKian]

Honestly I can’t remember the exact size but it was decently large. Although I have tested this bug multiple times and it seems it doesn’t rely on region size. It usually just occurs near the middle. But I recommend getting an account watching in the air and then an alt account just running around

@TheWackersKian Are there any error messages in the console that are thrown when the player walks into that region?

[JimiIT92]

Just an update on this: I think I tried it all and got no luck reproducing the issue. I even tried with some friends to see if the issue was somehowe related to premium accounts, since all my tries with al accounts are done with third party launchers (thank you Mojang for not providing a proper Dev API). One I can think of is that it could be some setting related to entities render, in which case of course I have no control over it :/ Remember that MC stops rendering entities after some blocks or if they are like in the corner of the screen (for instance if you have a chest on your side and slowly turn your camera the other side you will see the chest disappears at some point). Let me know if you see any error or strange log in the console

[enchanterdog]

@TheWackersKian Another thing you could do is replicate the area, find the exact boundaries in which the entity becomes invisible, check if objects/terrain placed around the area are conditional factors on whether or not this occurs, and see if you can make this work with another claimed area. Another thing worth checking is whether or not the zone you turn invisible is consistently the same size and position inside every claimed area you make.

[RocketManKian]

Ok so I just downloaded the latest plugin update and now I can't seem to recreate the issue. I'm gonna test a few more things and if it doesn't happen then it's fixed. It was a really weird bug.

[JimiIT92]

If it does it kinda autofixed itself 😂

[RocketManKian]

Yeah all seems to be working. I will let you know if I run into it again

[RocketManKian]

Ok yeah it's still happening. But once I disconnect and join back it fixes it self for a little bit

[RocketManKian]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVRqd-aumEo This area is not even claimed with UniverseGuard either, but ever since I added it this player can no longer open his chests and we're having the invisible issue again

[enchanterdog]

Have you tried collecting the information I mentioned above?

[RocketManKian]

Yes one thing I noticed quite peculiar is around chests. When I placed a chest it said something in chat about it being unprotected. Next thing an area next to it made the person become invisible. Quite weird

[enchanterdog]

Is this behavior variable depending on render distance?

[RocketManKian]

I don't believe so as you can see in the video I'm within a few blocks of the player. Looking directly at him, that shouldn't really be render distance problems.

[enchanterdog]

I believe it would be worth checking.

[RocketManKian]

How would you like me to test that? My render distance is already more than enough to render him. I'm confused haha

[JimiIT92]

I am concerned about that chest message you mentioned happens when placing a chest. Maybe it could be some conflict with other plugins/mods. Can you share a txt file with all the plugins/mods installed on the server (and their version)? Also please report if you made any changes to the respective configs, so I can set up an almost exact copy of your server and see if I can finally replicate the issue

[RocketManKian]

Hmmmm maybe it could be GriefPrevention conflicting with UniverseGuard? I will work on that list now

[RocketManKian]

https://www.dropbox.com/s/x5bwjxrichkree4/mods.zip?dl=0 This should make it easier. I uploaded all mods and plugins

[JimiIT92]

it could be GriefPrevention conflicting with UniverseGuard?

Well, in general having two plugins for the same job is not ideal, so it could totally be. However I expect them to be in conflict for flag handlings, not rendering stuffs :/

[RocketManKian]

Yeah flags work fine

[RocketManKian]

Any idea on this? I really need this plugin to work haha it's amazing. Everything I need

[JimiIT92]

I tried the modpack posted. If I try to setup a local server with that modpack I got this error Encountered an unexpected exception net.minecraftforge.fml.common.MultipleModsErrored: Missing Mods: unknown : need [14.23.5.2826,): have 14.23.5.2825

While on client it says it need Pixelmon 8.0 or above, and in the modpack there is the 8.1.2 version... Is something missing from that folder?

[RocketManKian]

Let me send an updated link. My bad. https://www.dropbox.com/s/g8o3rxehto0mkj7/fortunecraft.zip?dl=0 these are the client mods.
