In Minecraft when a player types a message it is repeated by the bot and relayed to IRC. It only shows once in IRC but twice in MC chat. I cannot the users chat to show in IRC without the bot in the channel, but in MC chat they can see me typing if I am in the IRC channel.

It is quite odd and I cannot figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are there maybe two EiraIRC bots connected OR do you have it installed and connected on the client too?

Also, does this still happen on the latest version (released today)?

I will update using the one released today first then go from there.

There is only one bot connecting as shown in IRC. I do have the mod installed on the server and in my modpack for the client. I see my users in IRC just nothing was being relayed so I had the bot connect to IRC and it did so successfully and upon doing so I could see users typing from MC to IRC and vice versa. The only issue I saw was in MC where the user would type something and then the bot would repeat it.

I will update the mod and see if the issue persists.

Anything that would prevent a user typing something in MC to not be relayed to IRC?

If you are in the same channel with your client-side EiraIRC as the server-side EiraIRC bot is sitting, you're going to see both the messages on IRC (from your client) and the messages in Minecraft (from the server).

• "readOnly" option being true
• channel being +m but the bot not having voice
• channel requiring auth to speak but bot not being authenticated
• other mods exclusively handling chat events (if !who doesn't work when typed in Minecraft chat, it's a compatibility issue)

Other than that, there shouldn't be anything causing problems.
Drop your config files on pastebin or something if you want me to take a look (but make sure to strip nickserv data from it and such)

It seems when the clients connect to the IRC channel and the bot is there also it duplicates the messages. If I kick all the players from IRC and leave the bot in place the messages are not duplicated. If I disconnect the bot from IRC and let the clients/players stay in the channel they can see me typing from IRC but I cannot see them typing from MC to IRC even though it shows them in the channel.

Yes, as I've said above, you only really install EiraIRC either on the clients or on the server. The server version will relay all Minecraft chat to IRC and vice-versa. The client version acts as a normal IRC client where every user has their own connection and active chat can be switched with TAB.

Understood I apologize for my confusion. You can close this. This was caused by having the clients/players connected to the IRC channel via the client and the Bot in the same channel which in turn generated duplicate messages.

Alright, glad you got it sorted out! :)
