    I was getting tactfully executed to procure my head by @Mission001 whilst on minechat today, and upon my death found that I could no longer speak in chat or execute commands. I tried logging out, restarting and even deleting and re downloading the app but it keeps saying I can't talk when ever I try to type anything.

    Unfortunately this is my only way to connect for the time being and was hoping someone could fix this. Maybe for spawn me or something? I've never had this happen before.

    Thanks for your help!:)

    It could always be an outdated version, as I had the same problem a while ago.

    Well when you die, don't you have to respawn via clicking the respawn button that is on the computer? That's the only reason I can see why you aren't able to type.

    We block some chat messages from Minechat. I'm not sure if it's related.

    No like I can't type anything. I tried typing /spawn /list /ch g and nothing worked I also tried saying things in chat and it gave the same message.

    Maybe ozzy is right? Maybe I will have to wait till a restart or something? Or can you force tp me to spawn to fix it.

    What ever the out come thanks so much for your help!

    Can you try logging in via a regular client? Does that work?

    Ozzy is indeed right, you never clicked the "respawn" button. Check below for my godly mini-tutorial on how to respawn :p



    press the thing in the top right to respawn

    So... Ozzy basically explained it already.

    Optional explanation regarding the technicalities:
    The server refuses to accept chat message packets from your chat client because it killed you and still thinks you are dead. If it still allowed you to talk that would be a very zombie-esque 'death'.

    Normal Minecraft expects you to either respawn or quit. The former revives your ability to talk, the latter will ask you again once you rejoin the server. Normal chat clients¹ usually don't send a respawn packet automatically (or at all²). Disconnecting (or reinstalling the application) doesn't change anything about that, the server won't allow you to behave like a 'living' player until you send a respawn packet.

    The easiest way to fix this is by connecting via a normal Minecraft client and clicking "Respawn".




    ¹ Like my bot, Pivillean. Guess how I found out that you must send a respawn packet.
    ² Like Pivillean. I skipped the implementation of a respawn mechanism by 1. not dying and 2. joining via a normal client if he actually dies.
