Minecraft web based chat client

MinecraftChat

Web based Minecraft chat client for 1.8 servers.

Description

This is a very lightweight application... ~500kb without modules. It is built on Node and utilizes tools such as mineflayer, node-minecraft-protocol and socket.io. The whole purpose is that you can chat on Minecraft servers from your browser. This makes it easier to just jump in, say a few things, and leave without having to wait for your game to load.

Installing on your own server

git clone https://github.com/AlexKvazos/MinecraftChat
cd MinecraftChat
npm install && grunt build
npm start

This will start the application on port 3000 or the one specified by the PORTenvironment variable.

Grunt tasks

• grunt debug - Builds the client-side javascript application with no minification
• grunt build - Builds the client-side javascript application with minification
• grunt watch - Automatically runs grunt debug when client-side code changes
• grunt server - Starts server and automatically restart when server-side code changes

minecraftchat's Issues

Support for 1.9

Hey Guys,
Just wondering if you intend to continue support after the upgrade to Minecraft 1.9? Since the pre-releases have been pushed you can likely start testing.
Jon

why not contain a entity radar init

from the mineflayer , i see a Third Party Plugins "radar"
i think if it contain into this project , it will be a wonderful idea .

i hope this project will be a web Minecraft Client one day .

Predefined message

How can I send a predefined command when successfully connected to the server?

Weird looking Interface

Hey, I would really like to use your Webchat here but i got only a weird interface when I install and run your app.

DOES NOT WORK

I opened it up, at first glance it DOES work but now it doesn't. I can type in all the fields and hit connect and it refreshes the page.

Not showing at :3000

I've managed to get it installed and started(Although more detailed instructions would be a great idea)
I'm running ubuntu with no head

Installed npm, node.js and nodejs-legacy

I tried to run npm install && grunt build

The npm installed with various errors and warnings
grunt was not found on the system, and I couldn't figure out how to install it (I tried npm install -g grunt, no luck)

Ignoring all the errors praying that this might still work I went ahead and did npm start:

~/MinecraftChat$ npm start

> [email protected] start /home/user/MinecraftChat
> node bin/start

{ [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '.env'] errno: -2, code: 'ENOENT', syscall: 'open', path: '.env' }
> Server running on port 3000

But when I try to go to the ur(xxx.xxx.x.xx:3000) it just loads for a long time before

Interface not working anymore

I can connect to a server, chat, but can not read chat as said.

Server running on port 3000

Ideas

So there's a nice server feature where you can bookmark servers, maybe add an option to import/export the current configs and modules?

Also, along the lines of modules I was thinking a scripting module where you could make the chat do commands upon logging into the server or manually activated.

Can't Connect to Servers

I get this error when trying to connect.
[i] Error: {"errno":-5,"code":"Z_BUF_ERROR"}

You have been disconnected from the Minecraft server.

is reading chat working?

while using the chatterbox example, i noticed chat messages wouldnt get logged to the console. whispers would still work fine though. below is the function that should fire when chat updates but its not firing. is it just me or is it happening to others as well?

bot.on('chat', function(username, message) {
console.log(username + ": " + message);
});

Clickable names

I tried everything I could think of to make this work, but am having a very hard time making player names in the player list clickable, when clicking on them the name should be inserted into the chat box.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with angularjs at all, and have found it very difficult to accomplish this, is there any way you could implement this or give me a demonstration on how to do it?

Problems with the dependencies

Hey, I got some errors.
Maybe somebody can help me
