FixRespawnScreen

FixRespawnScreen

FixRespawnScreen is a small plugin which fixes 2 bugs with Spigot servers (at least version 1.14.4) during the respawn screen:

• Endless chunk loading and unloading
• Map becomes transparent letting caves, mobs, ... around visible to the dead player

How to install
There is no dependencies, simply drop the jar file into your plugin directory, then restart (or reload) your server.

Configuration
Only 2 parameters:

• fix_transparent_map (true/false) to hide the view through the map during the respawn screen
  
• monitor_chunks (true/false) to activate or not log of load / unload chunks event in the console, only useful for debugging or verifying.

Permissions & commands
The only permission is " frs.reload", to be able to execute the command /frs-reload which simply reload the plugin configuration.

How does it work?
Endless chunk load/unload is simply handle by setting the chunk where the player died as force loaded, then release it when he respawn. Transparent map bug is fixed by sending a NMS packet to the client player which fakes a respawn in another dimension.

Misc
I did this plugin quickly after having seen those bugs. I can't be sure it's working perfectly but my tests are OK. I'm open for help. If you are a server admin and encounter problem, let me know with detailed report in the issue tracker or the discussion thread. If you are a developer and know how to improve the plugin or handle cases I've forgot, do not hesitate to make pull requests on Github!
