Hello, so every time I go on the MCC forums I always see at least 1 post about anti-cheat and how we need it very bad and all it is hackers. Yes I understand your frustration but we really need to chill out about it because I think its causing a lot of stress for staff and the 2 owners. It is a lot harder to get a good anticheat that works for the players and the server than you think. So what I'm saying is that you guys should relax and the staff team is working very hard and most likely trying to get an anticheat. `Freeze :)
Hello, I agree with you absolutely! While in my last shift on MCC Staff Team I could see that MCCentral has an Anticheat and I know myself Owners are working hard on a better one but it's not that easy to create an anticheat that fits Minecraft Central perfectly once the server has some features that common anticheats would detect as possible hacks, leading to a increase of false punishments, such as: Minigame Abilities: Feather Weight: Have a X chance of receiving 50% less fall damage every time you fall. Vampire Kill: X chance of regenerating 2 hearts every time you kill another player. Strong Feet: Receive no fall damage. etc... As I said before, perhaps a common anticheat would detect these features as hacks and it would be necessary to create one from scrath and it takes a lot of time and effort. Hopefully my little post helps you to make yourself more clear. Have a lovely day and a Happy New Year!
It's not necessarily the staff and owners that players are frustrated with its the fact that near enough every game does have a hacker in the game. Yes, we do all appreciate to make a good anti-cheat will take a lot of time and effort. But it'll just make people not want to play minigames if they just die to someone with Kill Aura every time for example. So you do have to look at both sides from the staff and players and maybe there should be a temporary solution until the Anti-Cheat is in place. Just my opinion :) Have a good day!
The anticheat they have now is sometimes a little wierd and kicks. I have been kicked in total 3 times for flying in pvp arenas when I have just been stuck in the air because of lag.
I have owned a server in the past and managed a server of similar size to MCC. Getting a good anti cheat literally costs about 100-300 dollars. This stopped blatant hackers but didn't stop those closet cheaters, but staff were able to resolve that. Having an anti cheat led to the server's player count increasing by a decent amount. I think that 100-300 dollars is definitely possible and in Alex's budget as gets a decent amount of donations.
