Addon-plugin for Identica that blocks chat messages during authentication.

Requirements

• Required Plugins:
  • Identica 3.0.x
  • packetevents 2.14.x
• Tested Platform: Velocity

BungeeCord Support: BungeeCord is currently untested (may work). Its Adventure classes are loaded separately from PacketEvents, so verify it on a test proxy before relying on it in production.

How it works

While a player is authenticating, registering or migrating, chat sent to them is withheld unless it is one of Identica's own messages:

• Identica's messages are recognised from every message configuration Identica has loaded: the core messages from the root injector, and the provider messages (such as the credential provider's login/register prompts) through the config providers registered with Identica. Provider modules live in child injectors that the root injector does not list, which is why both sources are needed.
• Placeholders in the templates are treated as gaps, so You have {remaining} tries left. matches You have 3 tries left.. Templates with very little literal text are ignored on purpose.
• Player chat (DISGUISED_CHAT, and CHAT_MESSAGE for 1.19+ clients) is always withheld; it can never be an Identica message.
• If no message templates could be loaded (for example Identica is still starting), chat is not filtered, so that Identica's prompts are never hidden by mistake.
• Matching runs under a step budget; a message that would make a template backtrack excessively is treated as "not an Identica message".
