Serverside miners-movies plugin (proof of concept)

Based on the TinyProtocol Example of https://github.com/aadnk/ProtocolLib

Compile:

mvn package

Install:

copy target/MinersMovies*.jar into your plugin directory of your bukkit server

Usage:

Nothing to do. The plugin starts recording once a player joins and stops when the player quits. Upload the recording on https://miners-movies.com/upload

TODO:

Explicit starting of recordings:

Idea: Make the player switch to another dimension and immediatelly back, starting the recording before that happens. So the recording would start with a Respawn Packet. Those should contain enough information to create a replay.

Random developer notes:

Some packets at the start of the recording are missing, as the player socket begins sending data before the onPlayerJoin hook gets a chance to inject it's intercepting handlers. The information (line 99 - 105) is therefore saved outside the normal recorded stream of data. It can then be reconstructed while preparing a replay.
