serverName still being a bit weird

[mercurialmusic]

Hello! Thanks for the recent update (and heads up) about 3.2.0. Still having a bit of trouble with the serverName field, where previously the page wouldn't load when pulling from the MOTD when it included a section symbol, colors are still not quite being translated correctly (when they were showing correctly in the previous non-Java version):

https://gyazo.com/0cd860902d5fc8552e9d455d5f6758d0

I was able to set "serverName": "<font color='#17b4e6'>BadWolfMC: An Adult Minecraft Server</font>", which translates well enough on the page (https://gyazo.com/4cd4378ebd73e79a6e1836fa08d2f110) but then that shows the <font color='#17b4e6'>BadWolfMC: An Adult Minecraft Server</font> as the overall page name in the tab.

My actual MOTD uses MiniMessage gradients (https://gyazo.com/8200c356b9d6157128a62ff866454cea), which as mentioned did show correctly in the previous version of MinecraftStats.

Not a huge deal ofc - I just set it back to the boring white string for now, but would be a nice thing to have.

Thanks!

but then that shows the BadWolfMC: An Adult Minecraft Server as the overall page name in the tab.

That's because the server name is inserted into the <title> tag of the webserver. If anything, this would be a browser issue, because I do not believe the client script should be responsible for parsing the actual content out of that string.

In any event, the server name is not meant to contain HTML.

Would you give me the MOTD from your server.properties so I can properly test this?

I confused myself before, I'm on a Bungee/Waterfall setup and my Bungee MOTD is in MiniMessage using a plugin that gives the pretty MOTD.

My MOTD in server.properties for all of the Paper servers was motd=§9Create yourself @ §awww.badwolfmc.com§3\! I enter this as \u00A79Create yourself @ \u00A7awww.badwolfmc.com\u00A73! and it automatically converts it on server restart to the section symbol. This is what is giving the bugged image I linked first.

I also wondered if, since I'm using multiple Paper servers as data source, if something is happening trying to combine the MOTDs or something? They are otherwise all the same on all the servers.

No, MinecraftStats gets the first MOTD that it finds, so if you use BungeeCord and have multiple sources configured, the first source that has a server.properties with a MOTD set will determine the MOTD displayed in the web frontend.

My MOTD in server.properties for all of the Paper servers was motd=§9Create yourself @ §awww.badwolfmc.com§3\! I enter this as \u00A79Create yourself @ \u00A7awww.badwolfmc.com\u00A73! and it automatically converts it on server restart to the section symbol. This is what is giving the bugged image I linked first.

When I use motd=§9Create yourself @ §awww.badwolfmc.com§3\!, it turns into motd=\u00C2\u00A79Create yourself @ \u00C2\u00A7awww.badwolfmc.com\u00C2\u00A73\! once I start the server (Spigot). The \u00C2 is the encoding for the character Â that we see in your first image. I don't know why Spigot / Paper (maybe even vanilla) do this, but this seems like a bug in the server to me, nothing I would be fixing in MinecraftStats.

If I use motd=\u00A79Create yourself @ \u00A7awww.badwolfmc.com\u00A73!, everything works fine for me in version 3.2.0, which fixes any trouble caused by the "section symbol" (§).

Hi i have a motd like \u00a76=== Conterstine Subs [PBE-DEV] ===\u00a7r\n\u00a79Furro Power\u00a7r - \u00a7aMantenido por @MrDoc94 but when reload the paper server (1.21.1) turns into §6\=\=\= Conterstine Subs [PBE-DEV] \=\=\=§r\n§9Furro Power§r - §aMantenido por @MrDoc94 and fail to load

This may be fixed by 3.3.0.

[Doc94]

Testes in latest version and still has the error.
The site show this in console.

and the issue is the motd format.

There was an issue with parsing newlines, which has been fixed in 3.3.1.
