Can you obtain the server's IP/domain a player pings?

[Andre601]

Would like to get whatever adress a player pinged.
If the player f.e. added play.example.com as the domain in their server list and ping it would I like to get that address.

Is this doable with ProtocolLib's onPacketSending(PacketEvent)?

It is not possible with onPacketSending(PacketEvent), you need to store the address the player pinged which comes from the handshake (PacketType.Handshake.Client.SET_PROTOCOL) as a string.

Yes, you need to listen to onPacketReceiving and store the value, then retreive it again when the status response is sent.

[Andre601]

So it is

protocolManager.addPacketListener(new PacketAdabter(plugin, ListenerPriority.LOW, PacketType.Handshake.Client.SET_PROTOCOL){
    @Override
    public void onPacketReceiving(PacketEvent event){
        // Do something here
    }
});

...right?

Tho, the question for me remains on how to obtain the pinged server address here. I'm not too familiar with the PacketEvent so idk the structure it would have here and what I need to do to actually get the address.

[derklaro]

Basically you retrive packet data by going by their field type. So you would need to use event.getPacket().getStrings().read(/* index */ 0) to get the first String field.

I see. Thanks. Will try it out and let you know about the outcome
