API to control Vibrant Visuals #6739

Problem description

Currently, within the ResourcePacksPacketHandler code, the ResourcePacksInfoPacket is sent with forceDisableVibrantVisuals set to true.

This hardcoded value means that we have no direct way to enable or disable the Vibrant Visuals feature for players.

Proposed solution

We propose adding a mechanism for plugin developers to modify the value of forceDisableVibrantVisuals before the ResourcePacksInfoPacket is sent to the client. Here are a few potential approaches:

• Introduce a new method within PlayerResourcePackOfferEvent, setForceDisableVibrantVisuals(bool $forceDisable) or setVibrantVisualsEnabled(bool $enabled), then pass it to the ResourcePacksPacketHandler.
• Make forceDisableVibrantVisuals public in ResourcePacksInfoPacket

Alternative solutions or workarounds

Currently, the only known workaround involves using the DataPacketSendEvent in conjunction with Reflection or a closure hack to modify the forceDisableVibrantVisuals value within the packet. Plugin developers can't rely on this method as it's fragile and has no official backing.
