List Of Shame

A non-exhaustive list of projects to be known to have rather unpleasant vibes.

AtomSpigot, SpigotGuard, Aegis, Yooniks

  • AtomSpigot, At first you must know that the first version of AtomSpigot developed by yooniks contained a ySpigot code created by Mael. Second version (latest) is developed by some random guy that in my opinion doesn't even know java basics or he is so stupid, let me explain. He put tnt into async and calling it "optimization" but that doesn't do anything because your cpu usage gonna be higher (also it probably contains yspigot code yey they like Mael so much). So we can tell that this fork is trash and PaperSpigot is better.
  • SpigotGuard, AntiCrash plugin that have heavy obfuscation and shitty checks causing performence loses, also contains false flags(kicking normal players for crashing) so this AntiCrash is trash.
  • Aegis, BotFilter fork with "patched" exploits but only in description, also using 300% more cpu than normal bungeecord
  • Yooniks, 18yo Polish "developer" that are skidding code for years i don't even know if he know java basics XD. (Also he doesn't have any knowledge about exploits 😂)".

Please don't use yooniks products.

ASYNC DOESN'T ALWAYS EQUALS BETTER

  • Yatopia, "The combined power of Paper forks for maximum instability and unmaintainablity!" - Messy, tossed salad of people that haven't even really understood the patch system.
  • Yatopia, no really, it's bad
  • SkinsRestorer, "System.out.println("[SkinsRestorer] "), try {} catch (Exception e) {}" - The cleanest code it has comes from one-time contributors.
  • EntityTrackerFixer, "Minecraft tracks alot of entities - so let's disable that, who needs entities to work as intended anyway ;^)", not to mention that Paper already implements most of its fixes
  • Literally any closed-source (paid) 1.8 Paper fork on mcmarket, "[Optimized] [Cannons] [Everything is multithreaded]" - Mostly just copied off each other with little to no actual work involved or improvements done, with many even introducing major bugs or including security breaches.
  • Kangarko, "Become self-hated now" - Who needs well-made, free Java courses like JetBrains Academy anyways, if you can use Kangarko's overpriced one! Uses every place humanly possible to advertise his service, and likes to silently push blame towards other people.
  • ClearLagg, "Use one of ClearLagg's many utilities to make lag" - Causes more lag than it removes and doesn't even know its own name.
  • CMI, "Over 280 must have bugs for your server!" - A (non-)substitute for EssentialsX for the people that think paid=good.
  • Songoda, "The one top sketchy marketplace for Minecraft plugins" - Because it doesn't get more sketchy than Songoda.
  • NeruxVace, "Money ain't got wings!" - Minigames network that won't let anything stand in the way of its urge for "success". Whether it's paying developers, or simply following up on (legal-)agreements - Noah Kemm doesn't need any of that!
  • Mortal Mines, Network that mass DM bots discord servers to gain players for a pay2win prison server. Alexander Didio (aka LizardZ or Energy) has owned and killed OPMines, Sparkverse, WickedSkies, FrostyMC, and Jurassic Mines after two months once their playerbase has been milked dry.
  • 1.8, "An outdated version of Minecraft with more security issues than features!" - Hasn't been updated in over 6 years.
  • ViaVersion, "1.8-1.16 KitPVP" - Enables the evil to continue to live.
  • ProtocolSupport, - Like ViaBackwards, just with more evil.
  • Slimefun, "It offers everything you could possibly imagine. From taking 70% of your tick to clearing inventories at random!" - Tries to turn your server in an FTB modpack... tries to.
  • FastAsyncWorldEdit, "It's async, so that means it's better!" - Aims to be a fast fork of WorldEdit, it sure is fast, fast at breaking things.
  • AsyncWorldEdit, "It's async, so that means it's better!" - Like FAWE, but slower and breaking the WorldEdit license.
  • IllegalStack, "Dupe & Exploit fixer" - Actually introduces dupes, eats 15% of your ticks, and likes to do wonky things like removing nametags of players and entities.
  • EpicWorldGenerator, "Get the best lagg you can buy for money" - Because it sure is worth spending $20 (originally $40) for something that has several free alternatives with the same features.
