Players' Disconnect Message Without a Join Message. Are these bots or actual players?
Hello all, I’ve recently noticed many new players joining my server but instead of the message “player joined the server for the first time” showing up first, it shows “player left the server” followed by the “player joined the server for the first time”. These players never actually show up in game and don't receive an achievement when they first join due to them getting armor when they first join automatically. All the other regular players have never had issues and their messages show up correctly. Are these players bots? I’ve added a screenshot of how the console looks when a player usually joins and another screenshot of how these other players are showing up as.

bots checking if server is whitelisted/cracked
probably
cannot know for sure without ip/username list
you can always check https://abuseipdb.com
That's the strange part, other users show an IP when they log in, but when these users login it only shows their username and UUID, I think it probably is just bots
can you please send me a full list of the unsernames?
or atleast a few more than two
Sure, here are just a few:
All from the past ~2 days
yep just confirmed every one of these is one of my bots
they don't do anything bad
Oo got it, just wanted to check they weren't actual players that were not able to join the server due to a plugin or something, thanks 🙂
if you do want to opt out of the bots, just ban the ip, that should solve it
I don't mind it, but as I said these bots don't show an IP address in the console, so even if I wanted to ban the IP I'm not able to
i have literally no idea too why they don't show it
Strange, using the /seen command shows the player's last used IP address and it doesn't show with this command either for the bots, oh well
mhh idk
maybe because im not doing a complete login
i break the connection after receiving the game profile packet from the server
so i disconnect very early on
Yeah that's probably why, the players are supposed to first join in a world called "Spawn" so it doesn't give the server time to tp them either since they haven't officially joined the server, thanks 🙂
