1.20.4 PlayerList fakeplayer creation.

[Somikyy]

hey, im wondering how to create fake players in my players list to customize it a little bit.

So i have this code:

import com.comphenix.protocol.PacketType;
import com.comphenix.protocol.ProtocolLibrary;
import com.comphenix.protocol.ProtocolManager;
import com.comphenix.protocol.events.PacketContainer;
import com.comphenix.protocol.wrappers.EnumWrappers;
import com.comphenix.protocol.wrappers.PlayerInfoData;
import com.comphenix.protocol.wrappers.WrappedChatComponent;
import com.comphenix.protocol.wrappers.WrappedGameProfile;
import com.comphenix.protocol.wrappers.EnumWrappers.PlayerInfoAction;
import net.md_5.bungee.api.chat.TextComponent;

import java.util.*;

import org.bukkit.GameMode;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

public class FakePlayerManager {
    private final SNTabList plugin;
    private ProtocolManager protocolManager;
    private final Map<String, WrappedGameProfile> fakePlayers = new HashMap<>();

    public FakePlayerManager(SNTabList plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
        this.protocolManager = ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager();
    }

    public void addFakePlayer(Player player) {
        PacketContainer packet = protocolManager.createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.PLAYER_INFO);
        packet.getPlayerInfoAction().write(0, PlayerInfoAction.ADD_PLAYER);

        WrappedGameProfile fakeProfile = new WrappedGameProfile(UUID.randomUUID(), "FakePlayer");
        PlayerInfoData playerInfoData = new PlayerInfoData(fakeProfile, 1, EnumWrappers.NativeGameMode.SURVIVAL, WrappedChatComponent.fromText("Fake Player"));

        packet.getPlayerInfoDataLists().write(0, Collections.singletonList(playerInfoData));

        try {
            protocolManager.sendServerPacket(player, packet);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public void updatePlayers() {
        ProtocolManager protocolManager = ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager();
        PacketContainer packet = protocolManager.createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.PLAYER_INFO);
        packet.getPlayerInfoAction().write(0, PlayerInfoAction.REMOVE_PLAYER);

        for (WrappedGameProfile fakeProfile : fakePlayers.values()) {
            PlayerInfoData playerInfoData = new PlayerInfoData(fakeProfile, 1, EnumWrappers.NativeGameMode.fromBukkit(GameMode.SURVIVAL), WrappedChatComponent.fromText(new TextComponent("Fake Player").toPlainText()));
            packet.getPlayerInfoDataLists().write(0, Collections.singletonList(playerInfoData));

            for (Player player : plugin.getServer().getOnlinePlayers()) {
                try {
                    protocolManager.sendServerPacket(player, packet);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }

        fakePlayers.clear();
    }
}

But it's giving me a console error as:

i tried different methodes but all of them was giving me a road to this error.

If your server is >1.19.2 you should use getPlayerInfoActions() and not getPlayerInfoAction() !!

like this: Packet.getPlayerInfoActions().write(0, EnumSet.of(com.comphenix.protocol.wrappers.EnumWrappers.PlayerInfoAction.ADD_PLAYER)) Maybe that helps.
