"Chat disabled due to missing profile public key"

RandomName123

Every time I try to login to my 1.20.2 Paper server with Wurst I get this error message. It only occurs when using Wurst mod- other mods work fine but as soon as I try to use Wurst I get this error msg whenever I try to send a msg or a command in chat.

How can I fix this? Oddly I can chat on Hypixel but cannot chat on my 1.20.2 Paper server, though Hypixel is not 1.20.2 and uses ViaVersion to allow other versions to join.

I do have access to server files so if needed I can change something- but I'd like to avoid doing so as I figure there must be a reason for the settings to be the way they are.

Error msg in chat:

Feedback would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Edit:
After reviewing:
https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-252942
I suspect it occurs with servers 1.19+ and when using specific client-side mods that cause this problem. Hence why Hypixel worked because it runs on 1.7 or 1.8 and why my 1.20.2 server did not work with Wurst but works fine with vanilla or other mods.

Still looking for a fix.

Hey RandomName123,

The "Chat disabled due to missing profile public key" message means that the server you are playing on is trying to force you to send chat messages that can be reported to Mojang (also known as "signed messages"), which is something Wurst doesn't allow by default to keep your account safe.

If you are comfortable with the risks involved, you can re-enable reportable messages by turning off the NoChatReports feature in Wurst. If you have the latest version, you'll find it under the "Chat" category in ClickGUI. Just toggle it off.

If you're using an older version of Wurst (before v7.35.2) or prefer to use the Navigator GUI, you'll find it by opening Navigator and searching for "NoChatReports".

However, do note that by disabling NoChatReports, you run the risk of being chat-reported and potentially banned by Mojang. See this FAQ for more details on the risks of chat reporting.

I hope this helps! Let me know if anything is unclear.

Alexander01998 Excellent explanation! On the server side I'll disable players' ability to report chat msgs in server.properties. If that does not resolve it I'll do the client-side fix, thank you!

I feel that you should add an automatic shut off of no chat reports if it detects this
