Chat Abusers: In order to catch these players to punish, you'll need an efficient tool that takes screenshots such as Gyazo, Lightshot, or the most used F2. F2 is the default Minecraft screenshot tool and is the best way to take screenshots as it takes a full screenshot slabs cropped screenshots are not allowed. Advertisers:- Advertisers are players who advertise the I.P of a server or in some cases the website of servers, fake website links, and sites to any kind of pornography and are all not allowed! Spammers:- Spammers are players who over repeat a sentence/word. In order for a player to be considered spamming, they would have to have said the same thing 3 times or more to be considered spam. Disrespect:- Disrespect is when someone is targeting one or more player(s) with cussing and or being rude in general. This is a serious rule and is not allowed on Mineverse and most servers in general.
-=- Part 2 -=- How to Detect Hacks: Like being able to take screenshots and using the proper tools, you'll need a good recorder in order to catch hackers. Screenshots of hackers will not be accepted. You may use Bandicam, FRAPS, Camtasia, or any other recording software. (Blue glow is the link to the record software's.) Killaura:- Most people think Killaura and Forcefield are the same thing. It is not. Forcefield is the practice of hitting everyone away extremely far so that they cannot touch you. Killaura is more based on "killing", as the name suggests. This hits everyone in a radius extremely fast until they are not in the radius around the user. You can notice this in your evidence if whenever you go near a player you are hit super hard and super fast. Many hackers leave this open while sorting through their inventories, which is also a way to detect it. Because they are hitting you whenever you are near, expect them to hit you while shooting bows, eating food, drinking potions, etc. Forcefield:- Forcefield is makes it so that no one can hit the player. What forcefield does is it knocks everyone around you away crazy far. This is noticeable by if you see a player with no one near him for a large radius, or if everyone around him is getting knocked back extremely far. If the player has a diamond enchanted sword, it can be proved if everyone around him is lit on fire. You can tell if this is the case if you are knocked back super far, and you get knocked again while still extremely far away from them. This is because you normally cannot get hit so far, so your entity is actually still in the radius of the hacker, and you get knocked back further again. Mainly, the hack used is now Killaura in terms of Forcefield/Killaura. Aimbot:- ClickAimbot and BowAimbot fall into this category. What aimbot does is it automatically hits players without you having to do much whether it's click aimbot or just regular aimbot. The difference between the both is that with clickaimbot you have to manually click your mouse and the hack hits someone automatically for you while in aimbot, the hack does everything for you so basically you can just sit there and let the client do the work. Also, the player's head will spin around a lot. This is because Aimbot causes them to toggle onto the nearest player to them. Let us say you are 1v1ing an aimbot player. While these are harder to prove, you will notice that he repeatedly hits you from about 4-5 blocks away. This is what is mostly mistaken as "reach" hacking. There is no such thing as reach hacking, it is just that Aimbot allows the user to hit to the very far limit of Minecraft. Most normal players are not experienced or good enough at PvP to be comfortable or used to hitting from that far away. You will notice that the user strafes from very far away, and continues battering at you without missing. BowAimbot is kind of like Aimbot, except with bows. You notice this if the user is shooting his bow far away from you, yet you are still being hit. You must prove that you are not lagging while recording this though, because many times it could be mistaken. RapidFire:- I am sure you have noticed this. This is when a massive series of arrows fire out from a bow in a very short amount of time. This is very dangerous, and many times can also be used with BowAimbot. This can be recorded by simply watching the sea of arrows shooting out. But be sure that it isn't a player bow spamming really fast because players mistaken normal bow spam from rapidfire. SuperJump/Fly:- This is a pretty easy hack to spot. When a player is flying, in an area when they cannot fly. Many servers, including Mineverse, have protection to this. You can notice this if a player jumps super high into the air, then is pulled back down, or if he suddenly starts flying, then is brought back down onto the ground quickly. But sometimes, depending on the client, the player is able to fly fairly smoothly. It's very easy to find these kind of hacker in the lobby since non-moderators cannot fly in the lobby. GlideHacks:- This one is very simple to detect as if you see a player jump off a high place and they glide across the air at ease and land safely on the ground then you know that it is GlideHacks. Criticals:- This is the hardest hack to catch. You must present proper research while accusing someone of criticals. If you feel that you are being hit extremely fast and that the opponent is dealing massive damage, do your research on their weapon and your armor. Be sure that you are not lagging because when you are extremely laggy, you freeze in place and your opponent is still able to deal damage to you even though you are at a far distance on your screen, on the other player's screen you are not. And sometimes this can be mistaken for killaura AutoCriticals:- This hacks is not as easy to detect for what it does it it allows the player to automatically jump and fall, thus creating the critical strike. One way to detect it is if you see them jumping a lot while they're pvping and even if they kill you, you should see them still jumping. Anti-Knockback:- If you hit a player, and they do not get knocked back, then they must have antiknockback. If you hit someone with a Punch or Knockback weapon, or just a plain old fully drawn bow, and they do not fall down or fall back at all multiple times, they must have the Antiknockback hack. But before you are sure that they are hacking, check if they have good ping or they aren't lagging because some people may lag so bad that they freeze and ,in most cases, ultimately leave the game. Sprint:- This is when a player is always sprinting even if he is not double tapping W, holding the vanilla sprint button or the UP key. You can tell if a player is sprint hacking if the player eats food, gapples, or potions while he is running without slowing down. Another way to tell, is if you have a good computer/laptop with particles turned on, you may be able to see particles come from the player even while they're standing still. Watch their feet while they are standing still. If there are these grey particles, then they probably have hacks. Make sure you see this more than once, as it might be lag. One more major trick to know if they're have this hack, is if they are running/flying at incredible speeds. Nuker:- This is when a player selects a very large area of blocks, and destroys everything in that area. When this hack is used, the tool they are using uses itself to the maximum in a split second, and everything that tool could break in the selected area is broken. Sometimes, people select a certain block to mine. You can tell if someone is using this hack if suddenly their tool breaks and a huge load of blocks suddenly are destroyed. Many times on prison they will target only one block, such as ores. InstaEat/AutoSoup:- This is very easy to tell, if a user eats a gapple, food, or drinks a potion instantly then you obviously know that the player has InstaEat. Make sure this occurs more than once before reporting. AutoSoup allows you to eat the mushroom soup item without the delay of having to eat it. Basically, if you have this hack installed, the client fills your food meter automatically without you having the delay of eating while in PVP. This hack can also be used for other foods, drink, and potions/pots. Regeneration:- Players using this have their health regenerated extremely fast. You can catch this by fighting them with way more OP gear, and if they don't die to a quick succession of hits that are obviously supposed to leave them dead, you can assume regen hacks. Also, when a player is using regen you will be able to hear it if you hear a player make a weird eerie sound when pvping. X-Ray:- if you happen to be in a mining system underground with a player or watching a player, you will notice that they go directly to whatever mob, loot chest, or ore that they need. If this is the case, simply record it to report. Also another way you can tell if they have x-ray is if you're in a good hiding spot and you are crouching and all of a sudden a player goes directly at you then there's a chance that they have x-ray or they just were at the right place at the right time. Chest/PlayerESP:- The way this works is every chest on the map near them is viewable through the walls and opaque blocks through an orb or outer glow. If you are spectating, you can record these guys finding their way to each and every chest without fail. This is a bit hard to prove, as perhaps they just happen to know every chest. This hack is when all players in a huge radius around you are surrounded with a box, which is see-able through walls. Player ESP is similar to chest ESP except with players instead of chests. Players close will be red, medium distance, yellow, and far away players in the world are green. Along with this, there are tracers connecting from the users fist to the players. This is extremely difficult to catch, as you cannot look into the player's screen and see the client. However, you could either hide and follow him or die and spectate a to find this hack. Record them going to every single player around the map with ease and without going the wrong way. Make sure this player is not a donor on as donor's have compasses that show the way to near players for them on Survival Games. There are many kinds of ESP, such as BlockESP, but they all server the same purpose. AutoLog:- What this does is, the user selects a health-mode for the client to send a crash disappearance message to the PvP-Log protector, so it lets them through to instantly disappear and are able to bypass the new anti-log feature. To find this, record your fight with them, and if they suddenly disappear while in combat, this is AutoLogging. FastPlace/FastBreak:- With this, users can place blocks at a extremely rapid pace. Sometimes, they can toggle it to place 2-3 blocks at a time with some clients! You can detect this by watching them place blocks extremely fast. Simply record them fastplacing to get them banned. FastBreak serves the same purpose as FastPlace except with blocks breaking instead of being placed. Spider:- This hack allows users to climb up walls. This allows them to cheat in reaching up to chests, beating parkours, running away, and for them to hit you from places that you cannot get to. If you see a player going up the wall It's the spider hack and should be recorded and reported immediately. NoFall:- This hack is when the user does not take any fall damage. You are able to detect this if the user falls from a really high level, and stays alive without turning red and losing health. Simply record them taking the jump or fall with no damage. AutoTask :- In the hack AutoTask, there are 3 components: AutoTool, AutoSword, and AutoArmor. What AutoTool does is it allows the user to use any tool in his inventory without actually using it. For instance, if the user is mining wood with a Diamond Pick, but has a Diamond Axe somewhere in his inventory, the wood will break just as fast as if the player was using an axe. Catch this by recording them breaking something without the correct tool rapidly. AutoSword is when the user automatically equips the best sword in his inventory and hits you with it. Another type of AutoSword is when they hit you with anything, it does the same damage as the best sword in their inventory. This is very easy to catch, if a weapon or item is doing abnormal damage, record it. AutoArmor is also one of two things. The first one is when the player is naked or missing armor. They then equip the best armor in their inventory automatically. This is detectable if the user is sprinting around, and armor magically appears on his body. The second one is when the user clicks a hotkey, usually shift, and their armor changes into the set that they needed. If you notice their armor set suddenly changing, as in from iron suddenly to diamond, then that is AutoArmor for you. AutoFish:- Auto fish a type of that that is not commonly used but what it does is automatically fish for you or at least gives you fish instantly. For example, if you see a player use a fishing rod and they pull back immediately after they put the rod in the water then that's a good indication that they're using autofish. AutoFarm:- Like AutoFish, AutoFarm allows a user to farm without having to wait for the crop to grow and in the process get a lot of the crop. AutoHacks:- If a player is able to do anything that the client is able to do automatically for them then it is a type of auto hack, such as AutoWalk, AutoSign, AutoMine, AutoJump, and AutoEgg. (In-case you wer wondering, AutoEgg is when you can automatically spawn mob eggs and when enabled you are able to spawn more than 1 pig at a time.) Jesus Hack:- This hack allows a player to walk on water as if they were walking across a solid surface. If you see a player doing this, you can tell that it is using the Jesus hack and must be recorded and reported immediately. HitOverlapse:- By this I mean, you can hear the hits trying to overlap each other which indicates an extremely fast click speed along with a little AimBot. BreadCrumbs:- Now, This is a very unusual hack.. This is basically where it will leave a trail of particles or lines behind you so you know where you have been. Probably not used much on the server as you wouldn't need to know your way around, Unless your playing on MVP land of course. FullBright:- What this hack does is it allows a user to be able to see in the dark without the need of Night Vision potions and without having to change their vanilla gamma settings. If you see a player in a really dark room and they're able to go around it at ease without the use of torches, they either have the FullBright hack, just have high gamma or they have a texture pack that allows them to see in the dark more clearly. StepHack:- What this hack does is it allows a player to automatically climb a step without them having to jump to get on top of a block. All they need to do is touch the block and they are instantly on top of it.
I'd like 1 addition made and it's with the "RapidFire" hack. Could you please make it so it reads; "RapidFire/FastBow" as they are both the same thing, just with different names. Also, they do not tend to pin threads that are created by non-staff users.
A very nice written and very useful tutorial on how to catch rule breakers. Easy to follow and we hope to use it when we see a rule breaker in the server
