Minecraft Education Edition Support

[bundabrg]

Overview

Provides support for Minecraft Education. Note that though it is similiar to Bedrock there are changes even in same protocol versions.

You only need to re create the serializers for packets that have changed, for the rest just use the v361 instance

[bundabrg]

Ahh so just reference the below. That makes things easier. I don't really know whats changed so is there a good way to work that out? Right now this is here purely to allow me to test MCEE through GeyserMC but I'd like to actually identify the changes.

[lukeeey]

If you are able to join through MCEE then that should be enough tbh. Just copy the Bedrock_v361 class and make chances if necessary

[lukeeey]

Not an issue with this PR, but i think you messed up your git config haha

[bundabrg]

Do you mean the author name?

[lukeeey]

It's not linked to your profile so its likely the email you're using for git is not on your github account

[bundabrg]

Thanks. I'll update. The annoying thing about working on multiple projects across multiple computers is I keep forgetting settings. Also intellij doesn't help when it totally ignores local git settings.

[bundabrg]

We have a MCEE->Spigot connection.

i do actually have education edition but im honestly too lazy to test... sorry haha! it looks good at a glance though!

[SupremeMortal]

Is there any way I could test this since I don't own a copy of education edition?
Also, you should be targeting the develop branch.

Unfortunately you need an account to run it. Anyone with kids with a school office 365 account will have access to it and you will need 2 of them in the same tenant to test it through proxypass, so anyone with 2 or more school age kids will do.

Probably uni/college accounts may work as well?

[bundabrg]

I'll attach a session log later today between 2 mcee devices with just the handshake slightly redacted as it would leak my signed token.

My university uses office 365, so I should be able to test it by logging into mcbe using that Microsoft account?

[bundabrg]

That should work. I've just tested that the person who generates the original signedToken can join a server that broadcasts using that token so one 1 device is really needed.

The only complication is that you need 2 devices right now to get the signed token. I may try write a small standalone tool that connects to an MCEE device to retrieve it thus only needing 1 device.

Even better would be doing the whole authentication loop to retrieve a fresh one from the servers each time but that is a job for another day.

packets-cleaned.log

Packet capture between 2 MCEE Devices. I've redacted the jwt in the handshake. It also happened to have logging of chunk payloads as it was during my time of working out how the palettes work.

[ApocalypsjeNL]

Tried to login with my university account but got an error stating that it's an invalid Microsoft account, and when I tried to create a new one for that email it stated that it requires a personal email account

[bundabrg]

Check here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/education/products/office

Perhaps you have to create the account via that.

[bundabrg]

It also looks like it might need to be explicitly added to the Azure AD (which you can't do unless you're the administrator). So it may only be possible to test with a trial account, otherwise you'll need to find some friends with kids: https://education.minecraft.net/get-started/

Bit of a pain unfortunately.

[lukeeey]

It works fine for me, I just have to login. I’m gonna test it later today with Nukkit 2.0

[bundabrg]

This is now 1.16 ready as far as I can tell but will require further testing once I update Geyser mappings for MCEE.

[basaigh]

I could be wrong, but this should be unnecessary as the latest beta for mcee is using protocol v390

[Camotoy]

@D3ATHBRINGER13 it's not "unnecessary"; Protocol maintains compatibility with many older versions of Bedrock, so still having support for it will be useful. And, the data can be used to easily add whatever the protocol is for 390 MCEE (likely not exactly 390).

[basaigh]

Yeah, didn't really think about it, sorry

[bundabrg]

Closed as I'll maintain this at https://github.com/bundabrg/Reversion/tree/master/protocol
