EaglercraftX (1.8.9) WebSocket Proxy

What is this?

A very poorly written and small Node.js-based proxy that allows EaglerX/Eaglercraft 1.8.9 clients to connect to (offline) Vanilla 1.8.9 servers.

Issues

• Generic and vague "End of stream" error when disconnected by the proxy, not the server
• Inability to set a server icon
• Skins don't work

Setup Guide

Prerequisites

• Node.js v12 and up
• A 1.8.9-compatible Minecraft server or proxy

Setup Guide

1. Download and extract this repository to a folder on your computer.
2. Open a terminal and go to the folder of the repository. Run npm i.
3. Edit config.js to configure your proxy. Below is a small breakdown of the configuration file.

export const config = {
    // The name of the proxy. Does nothing.
    name: "BasedProxy",
    // The port you want to run the proxy on.
    port: 80,
    // The amount of players that can join and use this proxy simultaneously.
    maxPlayers: 20,
    motd: {
        // Does nothing. (icons do not work)
        iconURL: null,
        // The first line of the MOTD.
        l1: "hi",
        // The second line of the MOTD.
        l2: "lol"
    },
    server: {
        // The IP/domain of the server you want the proxy to point to.
        // Remember, the server HAS to be offline, or you can't connect.
        host: "127.0.0.1",
        // The port the server is running on.
        port: 25565
    },
    security: {
        // Whether or not encryption should be enabled.
        // If you are using Repl.it, this should be left off.
        enabled: false,
        // The key issued to you by your certificate authority (CA).
        key: null,
        // The certificate issued to you by your certificate authority (CA).
        cert: null
    }
};

3. Start your proxy by running node index.js.
4. Connect to your server. For the server address, use the folllowing format: ws://<IP>:<port>. If you are using encryption, replace ws:// with wss://.
