Hello, having trouble getting basic project setup.

[KyleCorga]

Having trouble trying to get a basic project setup and running into errors. The errors are:

PartialReadError: Read error for undefined : Missing characters in string, found size is 13 expected size was 21

I've tried creating a new project with nothing but index.ts and no other dependencies and still get the error, I've tried re-installing mineflayer and protodef. I've tried using .js instead of .ts for index.xx.

Here is my index.ts.

require('dotenv').config();

const mineflayer = require('mineflayer');

// Set up the realms client with your Minecraft account credentials
const email = process.env.MINECRAFT_EMAIL;
const password = process.env.MINECRAFT_PASSWORD;

// Localhost Bot
const bot = mineflayer.createBot({
  host: 'localhost', // minecraft server ip
  username: 'Bot', // username to join as if auth is `offline`, else a unique identifier for this account. Switch if you want to change accounts
  auth: 'offline', // for offline mode servers, you can set this to 'offline'
  port: 25565, // set if you need a port that isn't 25565
  // version: false,           // only set if you need a specific version or snapshot (ie: "1.8.9" or "1.16.5"), otherwise it's set automatically
  // password: '12345678'      // set if you want to use password-based auth (may be unreliable). If specified, the `username` must be an email
});

Running on Minecraft version 1.21 with Windows version 11. My package.json is:

{
  "name": "minecraftbot",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.ts",
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "eslint . --ext .js,.ts",

    "format": "prettier --write .",

    "protodef": "^1.17.0"
  }
}

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong here? The bot is able to join but getting these errors.
