SyntaxError: Unexpected token in JSON at position 38

Versions

• mineflayer: 2.24.0
• server: paper 1.12.2
• node: v12.18.2

Issue : I havent been writing js for very long, so any help would be amazing. I started coding the bot, everything i have so far works great. The bot connects to minecraft, it sends embedded minecraft chat messages to discord, but this only happens for about 2 seconds before the console logs an error.

Here is the console log:

BaaaaBaaaa Online!
BaaaaBaaaa is in minecraft!
undefined:1
{"text":"§7§l§o5BUILDERS\n§7§l§o5TOOLS
                                      ^

    at FullPacketParser._transform (C:\Users\Master\node_modules\protodef\src\serializer.js:82:10)

I would expect for it to consistantly stay online in both minecraft and discord. I would also expect for it to keep sending chat messages to discord (which it has been doing for the 3 seconds it's online)

Any help is appreciated!

are you sure, you're using the newest version of mineflayer? This seems like an old bug that has already been fixed.

we discussed this but nobody fixed it could you open a PR adding a try-catch at https://github.com/PrismarineJS/mineflayer/blob/master/lib/plugins/tablist.js#L18?

escapeValueNewlines is supposed to take care of it. Adding try/catch is not a solution.

The correct solution is to change match.replace('\n', '\\n') to match.replace(/\n/g, '\\n')
