Our Minecraft servers are offline but we will keep this forum online for any community communication. Site permissions for posting could change at a later date but will remain online.
- Ghosting is characterized by your avatar or player being stuck in one place, while your camera continues to move around. This results in other players being able to attack and kill you, while you are stuck wondering what’s hitting you. You are also unable to attack other players and interact with chests or anything else while ghosted, unless you are within range of where your avatar is stuck.
- CAUSE: This is simply a Minecraft bug that we are working on to prevent, we may or may not find a set in stone solution but there are many temporary ways it can be prevented. This happens on many Minecraft servers, and is not only an MCSG issue.
- SOLUTION: Ghosting can be temporarily solved by typing in “/ghostfix” (Or “/gf” for a shorter command), but if it happens once, it could happen multiple times. It can also be solved by re-logging, but that is an impractical way to solve it on MCSG, as once you log out you cannot come back into the game.
- Lagging back is when you are trying to walk or sprint, and then the server forces you to return to a position that you had just been in, repeatedly. This is often noticed in chases, combat, and even just generally moving around the map.
- CAUSE: This is caused by the anti-cheat/anti-hack plugin being overly sensitive, and detecting that you are moving in an usual manner or speed. This is not an MCSG-exclusive issue, but rather happens with most, if not all, anti-cheat plugins. The anti-cheat plugin detects that you moved from Point A to Point B, with no signal of any sort that tells the server that you moved naturally through the space between. The anti-cheat plugin detects this, and says “Woah there, buddy! Let’s try this again, in a slower manner.” It can also be caused by a DDoS or server failure causing random breaks in the quality of the connection, which would result in many lag-related issues.
- SOLUTION: As this is caused by anti-cheat/anti-hack plugins, and only minorly affected by the servers, there is no definite prevention, and changing the server hosts will not prove to be a major improvement. If you are experiencing this issue, you can block with your sword for a split-second, sneak for a few moments, or break a block.
