/help and /? on Bedrock always use the vanilla commands

[Hypermoron]

Describe the bug

Running the /help or /? commands on a Bedrock client will always return the vanilla list of commands, regardless of permissions or aliases specified by the server.

To Reproduce

1. Connect with the Java client and run /? and /help
2. Connect with the Bedrock client and run /? and /help. Compare the outputs.

Expected behaviour

On the Java client, /help is correctly aliased to Essentials' /ehelp:

Screenshots / Videos

On the Bedrock client, /help outputs the vanilla list of commands, as in singleplayer:

I'm sure this is fully client sided, nothing Geyser can do.

It's not. On a vanilla server, its help menu appears correctly.

Is there something that is preventing this command from passing through to the java server?

I found a fix for this. An extra help command needs to be added for bedrock players to use (for example /helpbedrock). My code uses the chat() method to force send /help to the server.

package bedrockhelpgeyser.noscope420;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.Server;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

public class HelpBedrock implements CommandExecutor{

	@Override
	public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args)
	{
		if (sender instanceof Player) {
            Player player = (Player) sender;
            if(args.length == 0)
            {
            	player.chat("/help");
            }
            if(args.length == 1)
            {
            	player.chat("/help " + args[0]);
            }
        }
		
		 
		return true;
	}
	
}

This should be retested on 1.20.70 given they have added changed some parts of how AvailableCommands works.

[420noscope-exe]

The original issue still persists in 1.20.70/1.20.71 without the workaround.

My plugin was developed on 1.20.62, and has remained in use since. Seems to work fine on 1.20.70/1.20.71.

Same issue here, thanks for linking me Camotoy. Will be great when this is fixed! :)

There's a relatively simple workaround that I provided. Although it's a little silly to add an extra command for bedrock players, there isn't a way for geyser to capture the /help command because the bedrock client captures and responds to the command instead. Maybe I'll make a PR if have time.

I believe @Camotoy does actually have a way to fix this, as he recently mentioned to me; unless I totally misunderstood.

[Camotoy]

Latest commit should fix the issue without a workaround.

Looks to still be broken for us and using the minecraft /help instead.
