I’m learning how velocity plugins work for my minecraft network, and I wanted to make a simple /screenshare (player) command to bring both players onto the screenshare server. Since i want the spigot plugin (that only goes on the screenshare server) to know which player is the staffer and which is the suspect, I found out about plugin messaging channel. I kinda understood how it works, when I send a message from spigot to velocity, the velocity servers gets it and prints it, but when sending from the velocity to spigot it won’t.

I know that velocity will only message spigot if there’s at least one player online, i even had the plugin to wait 2seconds before running the code, but still nothing. This is the code

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getServer().getMessenger().registerOutgoingPluginChannel(this, "test:screenshare");
        getServer().getMessenger().registerIncomingPluginChannel(this, "test:screenshare", this);

        // Registra l'evento PlayerJoin
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onPluginMessageReceived(String channel, Player player, byte[] message) {
        if (!(channel.equals("test:screenshare"))) {
            getLogger().info("Wrong channel: " + channel);
            return;
        }

        new BukkitRunnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                ByteArrayDataInput in = ByteStreams.newDataInput(message);
                String subchannel = in.readUTF();

                if (subchannel.equals("RoleUpdate")) {
                    String stafferRole = in.readUTF();
                    String stafferName = in.readUTF();
                    String suspectRole = in.readUTF();
                    String suspectName = in.readUTF();

                    getLogger().info("Received roles: " + stafferRole + " for " + stafferName + " and " + suspectRole + " for " + suspectName);
                } else {
                    getLogger().info("Subchannel not found: " + subchannel);
                }
            }
        }.runTaskLater(this, 40L);
    }

and this is the velocity part of the code:

public static final MinecraftChannelIdentifier IDENTIFIER = MinecraftChannelIdentifier.from("test:screenshare");

sendPluginMessage(staffer.getUsername(), suspect.getUsername(), "Staffer", "Suspect"); function called upon running the /ss command on velocity.

    private void sendPluginMessage(String stafferName, String suspectName, String stafferRole, String suspectRole) {
            ByteArrayDataOutput out = ByteStreams.newDataOutput();

            out.writeUTF("RoleUpdate");
            out.writeUTF(stafferRole);
            out.writeUTF(stafferName);
            out.writeUTF(suspectRole);
            out.writeUTF(suspectName);

            Optional<Player> anyConnectedPlayer = proxy.getAllPlayers().stream().findAny();
            if (anyConnectedPlayer.isPresent()) {
                Optional<ServerConnection> connection = anyConnectedPlayer.get().getCurrentServer();
                if (connection.isPresent()) {
                    connection.get().sendPluginMessage(IDENTIFIER, out.toByteArray());
                    logger.info("Message sent to spigot, staffer name: " + stafferName + " (role: " + stafferRole + ") and suspect: " + suspectName + " (role: " + suspectRole + ")");
                } else {
                    logger.warn("No connection was found for player: " + anyConnectedPlayer.get().getUsername());
                }
            } else {
                logger.warn("No players connected to send message to the spigot server.");
            }
        }

the logger “”Message sent to spigot, staffer name: ” + stafferName + ” (role: ” + stafferRole + “) and suspect: ” + suspectName + ” (role: ” + suspectRole + “)”)” shows up in console and everything’s fine, but spigot won’t say anything.
What am I missing?

Tried using bungee’s channel instead of custom one, tried adding more time before having the spigot’s server to receive the message from velocity, searched online but beside these 2 issues I didn’t found anyone else having the same problem.

It’s like velocity can read messages sent from my spigot server, but my spigot server can’t read messages from velocity.
