I found a fix for the 1.19.3 packet 78 error

[GilanRanger]

I was recently trying to use XGlow in 1.19.3, but it was crashing when the client received a packet due to a cast exception.

The solution seems to be to change the setMetadata() in WrapperPlayServerEntityMetadata to this

public void setMetadata(List<WrappedWatchableObject> value) {
        final List<WrappedDataValue> wrappedDataValueList = new ArrayList<>();
        value.stream().filter(Objects::nonNull).forEach(entry -> {
            final WrappedDataWatcher.WrappedDataWatcherObject dataWatcherObject = entry.getWatcherObject();
            wrappedDataValueList.add(new WrappedDataValue(dataWatcherObject.getIndex(), dataWatcherObject.getSerializer(), entry.getRawValue()));
        });
        handle.getDataValueCollectionModifier().write(0, wrappedDataValueList);
    }

And the onPacketSending in GlowAPI to this

public void onPacketSending(PacketEvent event) {
                PacketContainer packet = event.getPacket();
                Entity entity = packet.getEntityModifier(event).read(0);

                GlowsManager.getInstance().getGlowByEntity(entity).ifPresent((glow) -> {
                    final List<WrappedDataValue> wrappedDataValueList = new ArrayList<>();
                    GlowProcessor.getInstance().createDataWatcher(entity, glow.sees(event.getPlayer()))
                            .getWatchableObjects().stream().filter(Objects::nonNull).forEach(entry -> {
                            final WrappedDataWatcher.WrappedDataWatcherObject dataWatcherObject = entry.getWatcherObject();
                            wrappedDataValueList.add(new WrappedDataValue(dataWatcherObject.getIndex(), dataWatcherObject.getSerializer(), entry.getRawValue()));
                    });
                    packet.getDataValueCollectionModifier().write(0, wrappedDataValueList);

                    event.setPacket(packet);
                });
            }

I was having trouble getting a pull request/fork to work (and this solution is quite messy), so in the meantime, I'll just post this here so that if anyone needs to fix it they can.

Thank you. As soon as I get a chance, I will update the plugin.

Made this changes in #30, thank you. Just waiting for @Xezard review for now

i've found another fix based on: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/unable-to-modify-entity-metadata-packet-using-protocollib-1-19-3.582442/

implemented it in my fork: https://github.com/Varunda/XGlow

only tested with 1.20, but it seems a bit simpler to implement for me than #30
