Bot joining Server and greeting. Any informations about this bot?
I've just started server, with opened port 25565. About 30 seconds after server has done loading this bot went in.
First time met bot that fast at local server without broadcasting IP anywhere.
I cant find any information about this bot. (Other questions about bots are suggesting that they are just scanning IP servers for griefing/curious). Should I care about that bot? - I know this bot has now my public IP address, bla bla bla just whitelisted players or closed ports, but this bot had to know that I've started server what triggered him to connect.
More info about server:
This server is running Paper version git-Paper-83 (MC: 1.20.1) (Implementing API version 1.20.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT) (Git: c793bd9)
- online-mode: false
- Essentials, EssentialsChat, EssentialsSpawn, LuckPerms, skRayFall, Skript, Vault

turn on online mode
it will stop these bots completely since they most likely don't own an actual minecraft account
offline-mode without a login plugin :-:
nope
it wont
the owner of that bot was in here literally hours ago
Im playing alone at this server
well not completely, but still stops it from joining
no
its accounts using easymc
That's why i didnt care about any protection
oh
there are scrapers
bots which scans the entire internet
+ I starting server just for sessions then closing it
just for gathering information
Yeah, but triggered by something - like plugin sending metrics or smth
I couldnt find any information about this particular bot
(ofc it can change name/greeting message)
the owner turned it into a advertisement bot but broke it
but It's nice to know, why this bot come there and greet me XD
nope
it literally searches for every single ipv4 address on the planet
this feel like troll dude
Milions of IP just to check random minecraft server
yeah
nope, he's in this server
i've talked to him, he owns over 100 vpses, and has a dedicated vps just for scanning the globe
its not that much
"random minecraft server"
