Detailed description of a problem

When joining the bot to my 1.16.3 server, the bot produces an error.

Your current code

const bot = mineflayer.createBot({
    host: 'localhost',
    username: credentials.username,
    password: credentials.password,
    auth: 'microsoft',
    version: '1.16.3'
})

Expected behavior

No error.

Possible issues in mineflayer code

I've looked around in the mineflayer code and I think I've found the problem. In /lib/plugins/game.js:43:

    if (bot.supportFeature('dimensionDataInCodec')) { // 1.19+

the code is checking if the dimensionDataInCodec feature is supported, but in @minecraft-data/data/pc/common/features.json there is no dimensionDataInCodec feature.

Update your dependencies.

npm update --depth 9999

in my case even tho I use 1.16.5, that bug is because minecraft-data from mineflayer is not up-to-date and doesn't contain 1.19 features like dimensionDataInCodec while here https://github.com/PrismarineJS/mineflayer/blob/master/lib/plugins/game.js#L43 it does

[extremeheat]

@Sceat that's a problem on your side. mineflayer does not use a fixed version of mcdata

[Sceat]

Indeed, I was using a earlier protocol version for typings compatibility and it caused mineflayer to have it's own version of the protocol but not of the datas, which kept using my own. I ended up bumping everything and i'll deal with the typings
