Detailed description of a problem

I am not able to move my bot within the world. The bot is connecting to the server, and I was able to send and receive chat messages. When I try to move, however, it doesn't work.

Current code

const mc = require('minecraft-protocol')

const client = mc.createClient({
    host: '[myIP]',
    port: '62457',
    username: 'AFK_Bot1',
    version: '1.17.1'
})  

client.on('login', () => {
    // notInactive(-0.5)

    setTimeout(() => {
        console.log('sigh')
        client.write('position', {
            x: -184,
            y: 84,
            z: 134.53013736121238,
            onGround: true
        })
    }, 2000)

    // client.write('chat', {
    //     message: '/tp -182 84 134'
    // })
    // client.write('chat', {
    //     message: '/spawnpoint'
    // })
    //
    // Single use only!
})

// client.on('chat', (packet) => {
//     if (JSON.parse(packet.message).translate == 'chat.type.announcement' || JSON.parse(packet.message).translate == 'chat.type.text' || JSON.parse(packet.message).translate == undefined) {
//         console.log(JSON.parse(packet.message).extra[0].text)
//     } else {
//         console.log(JSON.parse(packet.message))
//     }
// })

// For debugging only!

function notInactive(number) {
    let position = {
        x: -181.52092902441308,
        y: 84,
        z: 134.53013736121238
    }
    position.x += number
    position.y = 84
    position.z += 0
    client.write('position', {position})
    setTimeout(notInactive, 5000, -number)
}

client.on('error', (err) => {
    console.log(err)
})

// client.on('packet', (packet) => {
//     console.log(packet)
// })

// For debugging only!

client.on('position', (position) => {
    console.log(position)
})

// For debugging only!

Expected behavior

The bot should visibly move and the logging of the current position (see line 67 or 4 when counting backwards) should update to a newer position.

Additional context

I have tried many different syntaxes including relative position, position along with yaw and pitch, and positioning with only a decimal of difference from current position. None of them seem to work. The only code that ever worked was the following:

client.write('position', {
    position: {
        x: (something)
        y: (something)
        z: (something),
        onGround: true
    }
})

This one, however, produced the following message in the server console:

AFK_Bot1 Joined the Server
AFK_Bot1 Left the Server

The weirdest part was that the NodeJS program didn't quit! And when it logged the next time, it showed the update position. The server showed only 1 player as connected though (my PC). Hope you can solve my issue!

PS: I have also posted a variation of this on StackOverFlow

I fixed it, for anyone who's looking for an answer! The problem was with the 1.17.1 update in the Minecraft protocol. You need to send 'teleport_confirm' with the 'teleportId' sent with the position update in order to actually move the bot.
