Patch the thunder coordinate exploit whilst keeping thunder operating as vanilla as possible.
This plugin depends on ProtocolLib to work. Please install it here.
So, whats the big deal?
With 3 accounts set up on a server listening to lightning strikes, it is possible to pinpoint the location of each strike to ~500 blocks. Huge servers such as 2b2t have lost thousands of bases to this exploit.
Currently, Minecraft will send every player in the same world within 160,000 blocks of the strike, a packet which will give the player the direction in which the lightning strike originates. You can use two-point form on 3 accounts to find the approximate location of the strike through triangulation. Bwloe is a diagram of this triangulation in demonstration.
As you can see the sound of thunder can be tracked to it's origin. With my plugin the same lightning strike may look like this:
It will send players that do not have the lightning chunk loaded completely random direction packets making the lightning completely untraceable.
This plugin is compatible with any other anti cheat/plugin and will run efficiently (there is not a single loop in the code).
This plugin is not necessary if nocheatplus is installed.
