PrivateKey for class extending NetworkManager

I have a class that extends NetworkManager in nms and the constructer now requires a PrivateKey, anyone overcome this, or is this meant to be a unique key created for my class?

 

If no one helps this guy, 50 twelve year olds will rage. PLEASE SAVE THIS MAN.

 

Actually, 139,000 XD

I figured it out though. I am updating TopCat's npc library to work with 1.3 and I set the privatekey to null with no negative impact. I will publish the changes here soon!

Looks like the private key is only for packet 252 which I am not even sure what it is for (Login auth maybe?) but the npc is created fine when I eliminated it (NetworkManager defaults it to null anyway)

 

I was talking about the rage posts in the subreddit about database problems with inventories, etc.

Oh, and yeah. I know some of those words.

 

Oh, yeah those are the 50 alright

 

If you're just creating fake EntityPlayers you can get away with it, because you're not running an encrypted connection to your NPC

 

Makes sense, thanks for the feedback. I figured it was for a connection handshake and since I use a NullSocket I can use a null PrivateKey. If I need to do packet manipulation for things like nametage change, are you aware of a place to get a private key that matches the server's or is it meant to be unique to my plugin?
