1.16.3 support

[omarkhorshid]

I am trying to create a bot that's going to connect to a server running spigot 1.16.3.
And when trying to set the version to "1.16.3" I get : Error: unsupported protocol version: 1.16.3

Can I use mineflayer with 1.16.3? If not, is it planned to support this version in the future?

1.16.2 and 1.16.3 are planned and in development.
Currently there are not enough hands working on supporting these versions yet, so a release is not yet known.

It seems like the only changes were some bug fixes and updating the protocol version number, I'll work on this and do some tests to see what needs updating or changing and see if I can get a stable working version that passes tests.

Edit: I know it's more complex than that, just sayin I'll take a look.

There were also changes made to Minecraft-Data for entity data and protocol handling.

what's needed is explained there PrismarineJS/node-minecraft-protocol#757 (comment)
I'd gladly guide someone if you want to work on it

I am trying to connect my bot to my server and i get this error
Error: unsupported/unknown protocol version: 762, update minecraft-data
Error: unsupported/unknown protocol version: 762, update minecraft-data
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'minecraftVersion')
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'minecraftVersion')

And this is my code:
const mineflayer = require('mineflayer');

const bot = mineflayer.createBot({
host: '3.252.139.83', // minecraft server ip
username: 'afkonline', // minecraft username
auth: 'microsoft', // for offline mode servers, you can set this to 'offline'
port: 25565, // only set if you need a port that isn't 25565
//version: "false", // only set if you need a specific version or snapshot (ie: "1.8.9" or "1.16.5"), otherwise it's set automatically
//password: '9tghbwv9600K' // set if you want to use password-based auth (may be unreliable)
});

bot.on('chat', (username, message) => {
if (username === bot.username) return
bot.chat(message)
});

// Log errors and kick reasons:
bot.on('kicked', console.log);
bot.on('error', console.log);
