  • I am having an issue trying to join my minecraft server. I get the message of
    Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.codec.DecoderException: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 26 out of bounds for length 5

    I am playing on 1.17.1, Im trying to use it from badlion and there are plugins involved on the server
    How do I fix this?

  • i also have this issue with my java server that has geyser installed

    however only when connecting with my java account, i can connect with my bedrock account just fine and redstone behaves like it would on java so im definitely connecting to my java world fine, but whenever i try to connect from java instead of bedrock i get the same screen you do
