The List Of Shame, made by random people on the internet

Hi. 🎶

I am a university student taking part in open source software development here and there.

• 🔭 I mainly work on Paper, ViaVersion, and Hangar.
• ✨ I worked with egg82 to realize a MrBeast Gaming project of supporting 1000 players on one Minecraft server, now holding the world record of the most players on one:tm: server at over 4000 players.
• 📆 Server projects I work(ed) on are Cytooxien and OriginRealms.

If you're one of the people using the software I help maintain, please consider supporting me via GitHub Sponsors c:

list-of-shame's Issues

Add CoreProtect

CoreProtect, the #1 anti-grief plugin, fast and efficient block logging, rollbacks and restores, yes...
All this if you want an hard-coded plugin that doesn't know what polymorphism is.
Over 900 lines for a command, nested tasks and random try-catches on huge blocks of code.
The whole database class is a mess, spaghetti everywhere, creating every query string all the time you want to log only 1 thing, and yes, it's a static class (like a lot of other ones).
There is more code like this, but I think that's enough!

What about patina?

Hello!
Could I ask a question about server core called "patina"? Didn't have too many opinions mostly from Russian (Mostly positive) but still not enough information and wanna know about it more...

Bref, c'est pas que je m'ennuie moi, mais j'vais regarder un ptit risitas. ISSOU.

ProVotes

I stupidly purchased ProVotes without reading through the reviews first. Most comments are negative and highlight how the developer cannot take feedback and is quite rude towards customers; and this assessment is true.

I'll explain how I came to hate this plugin. Most vote plugins (of which are free), have a feature which allows you to view a countdown from 24h for when you may re-vote on that site. A placeholder such as %time_left_<vote_site_name_from_config>%. VotingPlugin has this feature, and is free.

Now let's turn face to ProVotes, a $10 plugin. Now paid plugins usually come with a feature or guarantee which differs it from free plugins; something which supports the price. This doesn't exist with ProVotes.

The 'time left' feature I stated above indeed exists in ProVotes, but for some reason, as one placeholder, one countdown which triggers whenever one of how ever many vote sites registers a vote. So let's say you have 5 vote sites, when a user votes on one, this countdown would begin; so unless a user plans to somehow press the vote button on all 5 sites simultaneously, this placeholder is utterly useless (apart from the first site the user uses of course).

I understand this is just one feature, but where so many free plugins have done right with this feature, why can a paid plugin not achieve it? And I asked, exactly why this feature, is why it is.

This is the response I received: https://i.imgur.com/rBo3IPM.png. Now from this response, the developer clearly states that "We didn't and don't currently want to keep database records for every player based on any site they vote on as it is added complexity for little benefit at this point in time."

Firstly, what am I paying for, if not 'added complexity', does my money, or any other customers' not motivate him enough to put in actual effort?

Secondly, "didn't and don't currently" implies he was not and is not willing to add this feature, which brings me to my next screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/0Ta61pV.png. I'm not the only person who interpreted his message here as blatant sarcasm; after all, he had, just moments ago, told me he "didn't and don't currently want to keep database records". How is this acceptable behaviour from a developer speaking to a paid customer?

Finally, after making a casual joke to break the tense situation, I was met with a threat to be removed from the channel: https://i.imgur.com/Rbj2drm.png. To which, I admit, I could have been less direct with my following message.

Generally though in these few messages, the developer came across as passive aggressive, sarcastic and as so many plugin reviews have rightly stated, unable to take criticism.

And to conclude, here's a screenshot of my review, and the developer's very obscure recollection of the events: https://i.imgur.com/LFRiIei.png.

TL:DR - ProVotes developer is passive aggressive, sarcastic and unable to take criticism. Many reviews support this and the plugin in general lacks so many features the developer considers 'complex', yet free plugins have achieved. Worthy of being shamed I'd say.

Add Sugarcane

basically yatopia 2.0. no more words to say

Removal Request

Howdy there! I would like to request my plugin Spartan to be removed from this list for the following reasons:

1. I no longer use my plugin to heavily advertise, such as in the past where I had random messages pop up.
2. "A Minecraft server uses just one CPU core" This was removed a while ago, excuse my stupidity.
3. I am aware my plugin doesn't have favourable performance and I've drastically improved it as seen from my updates. It will no longer set your server on fire, but maybe will still light a few torches, UwU

Thanks to KennyTV for instructing me on what to do for a transparent request. He's a cool dude, he's also upside down, makes me want to throw up the burger I just ate. Anyway, if you read this till the end, congrats, your time was well wasted.

Add Lagassist (Plugin)

Provide good alternatives

I don't think a plugin/tool is bad if there are no better alternatives. And if there are better alternatives it would be great to know them

Add TLauncher

Sorry for my bad English, my native language is Russian and I purposely making mistakes and changing grammar for avoid deanonymization. I use fake account because they can find my server and do bad things like blacklist.
This launcher very popular in countries, which was in Soviet Union, but sadly I regularly see in TikTok and YouTube foreign peoples, who recommend this launcher.
This launcher is fully stolen from other launcher, which now called "TL Legacy". They even stolen name. In 2016 this launcher was contains viruses, which disallows you to visit any site about Minecraft excluding their own. Ads, skin system, downloading Java and Minecraft from their own website, auto adding servers in server list and other reasons.
Also this launcher supports russian nazism, in all criticism they replies: "That's bad americans!!!!!!!!!!! We are russians, god with us!!!!!".
We should spread this information to stop this launcher.

Alternative - TL Legacy.

Sorry for mistakes.

Add PrisonCity.net (server mass-advertising in DMs)

wow no way another mass-dm prison server yoooo no way how unique

Add Auxilor

ZConnorZ@118d20a

Add Python

Add Eclipse

Theres no reason to ever use Eclipse. Intellij > Eclipse

Make the readme more... readable

The current list setup looks quite bad and makes reading more difficult.

On my fork did I redesign the readme to a - imo - more readable and appealing state (And added one or two things on top of that).

I'm not sure if I should bother PRing the changes to this repo or not, so I wait for your input...

You forgot something

You forgot to add KennyTV on the list of shame.

Add "Nate400." He scammed me for 300m

We made a deal and he lost and just blocked me instead of paying. I think this is worthy enough of being shamed. SHAME!

@nate400. on discord

How about a GitHub Page?

Wouldn't it be better looking to maybe host this readme on a GitHub Pages site to share?

Add Lolcat Language in MC

add spartan back

add tps killer back because the stuff he "corrected" is literally still there

Add PolyMC

PolyMC had a maintainer go rogue a while ago and fits this list very well.

Some thoughts

Great list, but I would argue that Viaversion is necessary for running a production server between updates. It buys administrators time to update whilst keeping wipe schedules consistent and not choke out the playerbase on new versions. I was surprised to find it in the list considering it's a drag-and-drop plugin that has no issues or server performance whatsoever. I also feel the focus of shame should be more towards server admins that allow protocol support for severely outdated clients (such as 1.7.10)
Think of Viaversion as more of a great tool when utilized properly.
Other than that, this list is pretty much spot-on.

Bad plugin devs like Songoda, Kangarko and a few other unmentionables should also be shown the spotlight of shame a little brighter. Songoda and his small army will attempt to manipulate and spin webs of lies to cover up past and present transgressions and their plugins frequently break and cause permanent performance issues that require a full server wipe in order to fix. Songoda was eventually banned from Spigot which resulted in the new shady web marketplace. Don't use plugins made by or associated with Songoda if you value privacy.

Add iridescent

If you want a plugin that will convert all of your chat components into text and completely mess them up, Iridescent is for you!

Remove "mohist" from the list or add "catserver"

Whatever, mohist is better than catserver because catserver is just stealing code from mohist and magma

New list of shame people

New list: https://ibb.co/tMLwv8W

Add AnarchyCore

A shitty plugin that "says its handy" but breaks commands, and makes lag.
When i say breaks command, is if you disable the plugin, the commands that he added, dont work.

Urgent

Delete this page because j'ai une grosse bite

Add Lagassist

Like ClearLagg, but for a 15$, and makes more lags...

Jetlag... i mean jettpack

https://gitlab.com/Titaniumtown/JettPack

Highly unstable fork from yatopia family, patches from mods.

Add section about every Essentials wanna-be... maybe? idk...

Would be worth a mention to the list.

Idea:

- Literally every Essentials wanna-be ever - "Faster, Compact, More Efficient" Get a shameless clone of Essentials with less features and more lagg while EssentialsX watches.

viaversion where

i see no viaversion on list add pls

Add 1.7.10

There are really still some servers on this version

Removal request

I suggest removing Kangarko from this list, because in my opinion his Java + Bukkit course isn't really bad. JetBrains Academy is more expensive, because it's 49 € monthly, and 249 € only yearly, and it's Java only. Kangarko's course is 97 € lifetime (Java + Bukkit), which for me it's a good deal and I don't think he should be on this list. He put lot of effort into his courses and is updating them. This is only my suggestion.
