Detailed description of a problem

Multiple chunk decompression errors occur randomly causing chunks to be missing. Example error is viewable here: https://hastebin.com/raw/oruyucociw

Current code

mc.createClient({
  host: "mc.hypixel.net",
  port: 25565,
  version: '1.8',
  hideErrors: false,
  username: "email@example.com", // set to example credentials
  password: "12345678", // set to example credentials
  auth: 'mojang' // set to example credentials
});

Expected behavior

No chunk decompression errors

Additional context

This only seems to happen on Mac OS and not Windows or Linux. Using vercel/pkg at the moment but will test without it soon

try to change your zlib version

try to not use vercel/pkg

[nealol]

The issue appears to be with vercel/pkg 5.3.0+ breaking zlib on OS X. Reverting to 5.2.1 fixed this issue.
