1.21.11 Support

Minecraft 1.21.11 released today. It would be awesome to see this plugin get updated.

This will be updated sometime soon. In the meanwhile, use the startup flag to ignore the protocol as that will likely work (if you're in a rush to update).

Also keep in mind many / most servers post 1.20.2 do not need FreedomChat anymore, even on large networks. So it's worth double checking if chat on your network works without it. I've seen a couple folks mention that they "needed to update" because they have "always been using FreedomChat". I'd only use it if there's no other way to get chat working on your server.

The startup flag should just be -Dim.evan.freedomchat.bypassprotocolcheck=true

I must have missed something, then. My primary use case for FreedomChat has been disabling the chat reporting feature because I just don't want Microsoft having any part in my self-hosted server. Didn't know about the startup flag--thank you!

Yes you can use it for that too, although the primary use case has always been to make chat function across server networks (at least between versions 1.19.2 - 1.20.1 where it was pretty much unusable otherwise). Since 1.20.2 this is fixed, and as of very recently the support has gotten a lot better so if the only reason you had it before was for supporting chat across a network, it should work for you now unless you have global chat (in certain cases), or for Bedrock (which now there is a bedrock-only config option so you can keep secure chat on the Java side for MUG compliance reasons if you need that - e.g. for approval on the official Minecraft server list).
