A hacker is someone who uses illegitimate mods to give themselves an advantage over other players. Here, I will post the three most commonly used hacks, and the most dangerous to yourself.


1. Force Field or Kill Aura

This hits for the player making it so he/she does not of to click to hit. Most hacked clients allow you to set the range and frequency of the hits. In MCSG, you can often very easily spot a hacker using this hack.

2. Chest Finder or Chest ESP

This hack puts a highlight of color over any chests near the player. This is very bad in MCSG because players with this can find good items.

3. Godmode

This makes a player "lag out" so you cannot hit them. This is very BAD because they can hit you. Sadly, it is very hard to prove that they are using this hack because it looks like the player is actually lagging out.

How to deal with a Hacker.

Often it is best to confront them. Most hackers are little squeakers and will turn the hacks off so as not to be banned.

Older hackers, however, are hard to confront. They often don't care, don't know what the rules are, and just want to screw some people over.

The best thing to do with a hacker is to get a recording of him fighting SOMEONE ELSE! This is the most effective way because the staff viewing the recording will be able to see his hacks more effectively.

How to catch a hacker.

First, determine he is hacking.(See him fly,go straight to 10 or more chests, kill three players at the same time, etc)

Then record or screenshot his vile hacks.

Watch or view your evidence several times to be completely sure he is hacking.

Once you have decided that he must be hacking, post a ban request with the evidence.

In my humble opinion, it is best to make a public post of the evidence so you can see if other people think he is hacking.

Then wait and hopefully hear that he is banned. If not, then you might get another set of evidence of his hacking.

If he is banned, Laugh at his expense. Go to a party. Buy a new game. Scrawl something on paper. Or even better, go play MCSG for hours on end and/or catch another hacker! :D

Note that when you catch a hacker, you save the pain for someone else. If hackers remain unbanned, they get better scores then the rest of us. Eliminate them, and you have a better chance at winning and higher ranks! :D

Yay 1st :D


Someone going to 10 or more chest doesn't show hacks because I know lots of people that study maps and get every chest near them which is more then 10 so as far as I know I don't think you can find a hacker that's using a chest finder hack but if thier is let me know please also this is a pretty good guide but there are already a lot more of these.

This is a good thread. Although screenshots are not enough proof to get someone banned, also record them.

Some things you have suggested are not right,

Confronting:
You shouldn't really confront a hacker, it is against the rules to accuse a user of hacks, and may get you banned. Instead try to communicate with a Staff member, This could be on the hub, Teamspeak or skype. They will give the same instructions as stated. Try recording them, Upload it to YouTube, Then message a Staff member with the link, (Forums,Teamspeak or skype).

YouTube;
I highly disagree with your statement of saying that it should be publicised on YouTube, If you ask a Staff member, it is a 'must' that you have it on 'un-listed' therefore only people you link the video to can watch the videos and the user can be dealt with effectively.

other than that, good thread, just not the best.

Not openly accuse them. Say hinting things like: "Pretty good for legit" and "How long have you been playing?" I say post it youtube so server owners can ban the username :D

Most people who say that people "hack" are stupid squeakers, like on time when someone said i was using bsm... in 1.7
Ermmmmmmmmm no. Not many accusers are squeakers although the population on a server varies.

Also, to those who voted no to my poll, that was a trap. You just voted that hackers should not be banned.

Screen things like water walking and flying :p Your right though their not always enough.
Um, you posted like 4 times in a row... I'm not sure if you know about double posting, but you cant do what you just did, if you want to reply to all of them just keep on clicking on reply, for each message.

Uh, you can boost someone with your fist or fishing rod and quickly screenshot dude to make them look like they're flying.
