Question chat links in latest release

[pakuize]

Hey

So been running paper 1.21.4 for a bit and it was good, now the latest 1.21.5 hit and once we updated we can no longer click the links in the chat but it worked perfectly in 1.21.4 anyone else have this issue or is it only us?

fyi did attempt without any plugins installed just to make sure it had nothing to do with that.
also attempted to setup a fresh server just to test that out as well same result.

Links becoming automatically clickable hasn't been a thing for far longer than 1.21.4 - some plugin would have been providing this. Either that plugin stopped having that feature, or the way they were making links clickable stopped working and needs a plugin update.

you may want to revisit that thought as I did just test this out in 1.21.4 and worked just fine.

It's plugins which generally deal with this; it's worth noting that mojang changed how this stuff works again and it's fairly easy for plugins relying on protocol hackery to break this kinda thing across releases, I know plugins using packetevents need updating, for example, in order to stop breaking all outgoing messages

You tested it with zero plugins?
