Hackers are common on all PC games. Our server is no exception. We don't often write about them because we don't want to give them any sort of spotlight that will attract more of them to the server.
Recently, players have ended up with some major losses from hackers. Today, we will discuss how to keep yourself safe from hackers.
1. Hackers aren't actually smart. They know how to google the word "hack" and "minecraft". They also know how to click download. So no, they're not doing anything too special when they're hacking. Knowing what they're doing is an easy way to keep yourself safe from them.
2. Hacks only control client-side actions. This means they cannot grief claimed builds. They actually can't give themselves OP. They can't teleport. They can, however, fly and clip through blocks and increase their speeds to the point it looks like they're teleporting.
3. Their actions are still logged.
Hackers often get bored at the limits that are put on them by the server. Their goal is to get attention. So the easiest way to deal with hackers is to not give them attention. Do your best to not even be near them. Do not talk to them. Let them get bored and leave. You're safest in your own claim. They cannot pvp you in there. They cannot damage your builds.
Worst case scenario, feel free to DM HayanTokki on discord when a malicious hacker is on and you don't see any immediate help. If we don't know there's a problem, then we can't fix a problem we don't know exists.
