RakTimeout [Error]: Ping timed out

[MagicalsDev]

Hey!, I'm a beginner in JavaScript, Apparently I don't know what is causing this error, I'm providing a little details as to what I'm trying to make! IDE: Replit Node Version: v18.12.1 Details: I'm trying to make a client/bot that stays in the server forever to prevent the server from going offline!, (I just want it in the server and I'm just gonna give it Creative to prevent dying)

Code:

// Express | WebServer \\

const express = require('express');

const app = express();

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.send('Hello Express app!')
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('server started');
});

// Minecraft | Bot \\

const bedrock = require('bedrock-protocol')
const client = bedrock.createClient({
  host: 'RockBurnSMP.aternos.me',   // optional
  port: 35594,         // optional, default 19132
  username: 'Notch',   // the username you want to join as, optional if online mode
  offline: true       // optional, default false. if true, do not login with Xbox Live. You will not be asked to sign-in if set to true.
})

client.on('text', (packet) => { // Listen for chat messages from the server and echo them back.
  if (packet.source_name != client.username) {
    client.queue('text', {
      type: 'chat', needs_translation: false, source_name: client.username, xuid: '', platform_chat_id: '',
      message: `${packet.source_name} said: ${packet.message} on ${new Date().toLocaleString()}`
    })
  }
})

What Pop-Ups in the console upon running the project:

server started
/home/runner/MinecraftBedrockBot/node_modules/bedrock-protocol/src/rak.js:71
    }, timeout, () => { throw new RakTimeout('Ping timed out') })
                              ^

Hey,

Replit blocks UDP ports which bedrock-protocol requires to connect to servers.

See related issue https://github.com/PrismarineJS/bedrock-protocol/issues/363

Since this seems to be a common problem, maybe we could add this to the FAQ and/or an addendum to the ping error if a replit environment is detected? Seems like that would be helpful.

Code that I have written

const bedrock = require('bedrock-protocol')
const client = bedrock.createClient({
    host: 'RockBurnSMP.aternos.me',
    port: '35594',
    username: 'Notch',
    offline: true
})

client.on('connect', () => {
    console.log(`Joined!`)
})

BTW I do recommend that you guys open up a Discord Server for better communication/discussion on errors
