Bedrock can't connect to Velocity when force-key-authentication=true

[seb303]

Describe the bug

When Velocity is configured with force-key-authentication = true (the default setting), Bedrock clients are unable to connect.

[11:49:14 INFO] [geyser]: /<ip-address>:58822 tried to connect!
[11:49:15 INFO] [geyser]: Player connected with username seb30303
[11:49:15 INFO] [geyser]: seb30303 (logged in as: seb30303) has connected to the Java server
[11:49:15 INFO] [floodgate]: Floodgate player who is logged in as .seb30303 00000000-0000-0000-0009-01f65009eec0 joined

[11:49:15 INFO] [geyser]: seb30303 has disconnected from the Java server because of Missing profile public key.
This server requires secure profiles.

This is using latest Geyser (#1108), Floodgate (#65) & Velocity (3.1.2#147)

To Reproduce

1. Install Geyser-Velocity & floodgate-velocity with velocity-3.1.2-SNAPSHOT-147 with default Velocity settings
2. Connect with Bedrock 1.19 client

Expected behaviour

It should work with force-key-authentication=true as this is needed for Java clients to securely authenticate.

It should work with force-key-authentication=true as this is needed for Java clients to securely authenticate.

This is incorrect - the key is currently only used to validate that chat messages were written by the player.
In any case, Velocity having this enabled and Floodgate being unable to work with this is something of a bug we're aware of.

Hi, where is the config option for force-key-authentication? I couldn't find this in Velocity's config

You need to add the option to the velocity.toml yourself. It goes under the offline-mode as so:

# Should we authenticate players with Mojang? By default, this is on.
online-mode = true

# Should the proxy enforce the new public key security standard? By default, this is on.
force-key-authentication = true

Thank you! Sadly it's breaking java users for me, so I might just go without Geyser for now 😔

[Camotoy]

How is it breaking Java users?

[Noorquacker]

Ah
It seems another config of mine is breaking Java users as well

Floodgate should now deal with this error if you're on the latest Velocity and Floodgate builds.
