SocketPlugin

by Vaediam

SocketPlugin, a Fabric add-on for Figura, lets avatar scripts open raw TCP and WebSocket connections to other hosts.

FabricClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.4

What it does

Figura scripts normally cannot reach the network directly. SocketPlugin adds a socket API to avatar code, with functions that open a TCP socket or a WebSocket to a given host and port, and print or log any errors instead of throwing a virtual machine error into the avatar. Sockets can be closed for the current avatar, either one at a time or all at once, so an avatar leaves no connections open when it is removed.

The mod is a Figura addon, so it requires Figura to run. It is installed on the client only, and it is published for Fabric alone, with files covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.4 across seven release versions. The latest Fabric file, 1.2.5+1.21.4, targets 1.21.4 and is on the beta channel. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Open TCP sockets

    SocketAPI:newSocket takes a host and a port and opens a TCP connection from the avatar.

  2. Open WebSockets

    SocketAPI:newWebsocket takes a host and a port and opens a WebSocket connection from the avatar.

  3. Socket status checks

    Functions report whether a socket has received data, how much data was sent, and whether it is still open or has closed.

  4. Clean closing

    Sockets and WebSockets can be closed for the current avatar, and a LuaSocket is closed cleanly instead of dropping the connection abruptly.
