The Aternos forums are now deprecated

For help regarding Aternos, we recommend you to visit our support center.

    To be a bit more clear

    The new version of Skript from GitHub does not allow bypassing limitations set by Aternos.

    If you do not trust it:



    1) There is a documentation for Skript. you can find it at
    https://skriptlang.github.io/Skript/events.html#move_on
    If there is anything that could possibly be out of the scope of manipulating simple Minecraft mechanics please let me know.


    2) Look at other server hosters like minehut who have been supporting it for years. If it was really that intrusive why do they have it.

    3) You are claiming that a bug update now allows for a user to go from adding custom features, to harming a server hoster. Let me make that even more clear. A plugin has been updated from its alpha versions to make it more usable and now its all of a sudden intrusive. Please tell me where. That's like a server hoster saying we can't provide minecraft above version 1.0 alpha because it could be intrusive.

    4) The hoster should not care if we hack our own server. They should only be worried if it could intrude into other parts of the server. A plugin that changes minecraft mechanics does not have that scope

    5)If Skript is your definition of bypassing limitations, then why are plugins with much higher danger even included.

    6) If Skript's update is dangerious why are all the other plugins automatically updated

    I'm sorry for repeating points but I am just making it clear why what you are repeating doesn't make sense to me.

    I didn't say that we have an updated Skript. I said that IF the new update would be okay, we would have it...

    That's what I am saying. The new update IS okay but you don't have it.
    What's the point of my response and request if you're going to say we can't add it because we would have it if we could. Why is this forum even existent.

    There is a difference between Aternos being scared of doing something and Aternos not doing it because it is harmful. I am afraid The reason you are not making this change is because you are not trusting the proof in front of you.

    I know that documentation.

    You're right. Be we rely on these "simple Minecraft mechanics"

    Aternos != Minehut

    Both work completely different, have different targets and goals.

    Therefore, there is also a different assessment of how much "benefit" it justifies to spend the effort to ensure compatibility of a single plugin.

    I'm not sure, but AFAIK Minehut modifies source code of plugins and patch stuff on their own. This is actually the most work-intensive way you can take. We don't have the capacity for that.

    We actually don't care what do you on your server. But we care if it affects the whole system.

    Because they don't allow bypassing our limitations?

    Because the effort to check every single update is too big.

    However, if we later find that a particular update is not suitable for Aternos then we remove it.

    You are saying the same thing over and over again.

    You're just noticing this now?

    If you would try to understand what I am telling you here, then we would not have to discuss the same over and over again.

    If you have proof it is, please let us know. Otherwise please add it exclusively. That is all I am saying.

    If you want me to give you a specific example, then ask that....

    Skript is as dangerous to you as any other plugin.

    Again. I don't say it's dangerous. I say it allows bypassing our limitations.
