Bugs
Known
Broken keep attribute respawns for <1.13 clients
In an attempt to fix ViaBackwards issue #381 (entities disappearing on respawn), ViaBackwards will always send a dummy respawn packet informing the client that it is changing dimension and then the translated original respawn packet.
This emulates respawns with Keep Attributes set to false, but does not properly emulate respawn packets with Keep Attributes set to true.
This causes the client to forget chunks it has loaded, resulting in the client falling through the world and being teleported back within the bounds of the chunks.
Respawn packets that keep attributes are used by Extras and SkinsRestorer to cause the client to reload its skin.
Pull request #1299 has been opened to solve this.
Fixed
