Version: git-Spigot-69774b3-8592585
Guidelines Read: Yes

 Description   

A command block with a simple command such as "tell @p Hello" does not work in Spigot 1.13. It reports "Error: Player not found".

This same command block works fine in single player 1.13, and in 1.12.

I couldn't find any mention fo this, nor an existing ticket- is it a known issue?

Solved with implementation of selector API

If you search my forum posts for the last few days you’ll see my comment on this.

Basically it wasn’t super intentionally removed, but as I recall the code to put selectors in was super hacky (and probably broken by the command changes). (And a bit weird it only worked in command blocks).

Shoot, sorry yes. I forgot I had Essentials on when testing.

Do selectors no longer work for non-vanilla commands? It does work if I remove Essentials and use vanilla /tell.

Are you using a plugin /tell ?
