Request to update the nodejs version to v20+

Request to update the nodejs version to v20+
The v12.0.0-pre version is really outdated...
Some higher version node modules are not usable

Good

Unfortunately BDSX is no longer being maintained due to Mojang's removal of the PDB and it isn't very easy to update the node version of Bdsx-core due to the chakra core backend instead of v8 which would take a long time to switch out

Hello.

Appreciate for using bdsx.

I'm aware of that issue as well. It is indeed one of the major drawbacks of bdsx. I’ve always thought that someday bdsx-core should support the latest version of Node.

However, since Mojang stopped providing PDB for BDS, I decided not to put further effort into maintaining bdsx. That said, if there’s still demand, I’m willing to start working on bdsx again.

Unfortunately I’m currently too busy in real-life, which means I can’t write some codes or even play Minecraft at the moment. Once I have the time to focus on bdsx again, I’ll make updating bdsx-core my high priority.

Thank you.

oh this bad
If Mojang still provides the complete PDB for BDS, will you-all upgrade the NodeJS version for BDSX?

[Siddharth-chattopadhyay]

Well! It shall be good (not always) if they upgraded the Node.js version of BDSX!

If Mojang begins to provide PDB again, I will patch bdsx, but not sure for upgrading bdsx-core. it's a separated problem.

Hackers can still develop powerful hacks without PDB;

In fact, without PDB, hackers would still search for offsets on the MC client to achieve cheating functionality. PDB allows manual addition of server authentication functionality on plugins to prevent cheating

[ATXLtheAxolotl]

Unfortunately, it is not very practical for a project like this to operate without a PDB. Although hackers may maintain their clients with some more effort, it is way larger for BDSX. Hackers target specific areas between updates. BDSX has to update every single function (or at least make sure it isn't crashing on start) every update.
