From 38ed8b80ed8b919f5cf4ce3e49f293f0d2c903b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Michael=20Vorburger=20=E2=9B=91=EF=B8=8F?= Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2021 20:27:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] document that default RCON_PASSWORD = minecraft in README because while experimenting with RCON, it's highly confusing why without a RCON_PASSWORD it happens to "just work" e.g. with https://github.com/willroberts/minecraft-client (which uses "minecraft" as the default password itself!) but not with https://github.com/itzg/rcon-cli (which has no default password). Default passwords are always a bad idea, and should ideally ideally just be removed (if you are willing to make that backward compatible breaking change). --- README.md | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 4a263a33243..39afd412e5a 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -875,6 +875,7 @@ The server icon which has been set doesn't get overridden by default.
