Strange client crash upon joining the server

[NotGolden]

Hey! So I just finished pre-generating a 10,000 by 10,000 block square of chunks with the Chunky Plugin. Now when I try and load into the server, I crash with this error almost every time. The strange thing is that the default config file for SimpleScore does not crash my server, but my old one that has worked for ages does. I tried using the plugin on a second server, and my old config file works on that server with no issues. The issue only seems to happen on my first server, and not my second (test server) one. If I load my main server without the plugin installed, I do not crash upon joining the server. I am not sure if it is a plugin specific issue or something in my main server's config is causing this to happen, But I can assure that my config file works as it works on the second server without any issues, and worked on my main server until recently. If you know what this crash means, and if it is related to SimpleScore, I would appreciate it if you could get back to me. Thanks. Versions and the crash file are linked below.

Minecraft Version: 1.16.2 SimpleScore Version: 3.8.1

Hey, that's a strange one. Doesn't seem to be related to SimpleScore per say but just to be clear this doesn't happen if you disable SimpleScore right?

[NotGolden]

Correct. It also doesn't crash my client whenever I swap out my main config file (which runs fine on my second server) with the default one.

[r4g3baby]

Are you using a custom Minecraft client and does the server have ProtocolLib? Can you send a copy of the problematic config file.

[NotGolden]

I am not using a modded client, and yes I have the latest version of ProtocolLib. Is there a way I can send the config file privately so nobody else can possibly steal it?

Hey I'm the owner of the server, i can confirm that using the default config will not crash the client, but with any other it crashes, i have tried using non modded clients as well, same issue, this has no impact on the server but as soon as the score appears/renders for the player it crashes their client. Thanks For the Help!

Right. I'm a high ranking admin / owner as well.

You can send me a DM on Spigot or you can add me on Discord R4G3_BABY#0001 and send the config there. Any chance you can try this without ProtocolLib or if you are using the latest plugin version (3.8.1) add ForceLegacy: true to the config.

[NotGolden]

I have sent you a friend request. My config file is missing that option for ForceLegacy, Maybe because we started with 3.7.2. Is it possible to add that new option to the old config file?

I've accepted your friend request. Yes you can add the ForceLegacy option and it should take effect. I'm gonna close this issue and we can continue the discussion over on Discord.
