Detailed description of a problem

When connecting to Minecraft servers, everything was going fine but I hit a 1.21.8 Paper server and a stream of PartialReadError: Unexpected buffer end while reading VarInt is thrown immediately after the bot successfully connects. The stack trace consistently points to an issue with parsing packet_entity_metadata.

Despite the log errors I was still able to join

Your current code

  this.currentBot = mineflayer.createBot({
      host: server.ip,
      port: server.port,
      username: `kmhozcdb@ronaldofmail.com`,
      auth: 'microsoft',
      // version: '1.21.8', // Auto-detect version
      viewDistance: 1,
      hideErrors: false,
  });

Expected behavior

Connection to succeed without error.
