So recently, after playing a couple of survival games, ive noticed that some players are able to move really fast in water. I don't know whether it is a perk or something but its just been really weird to me. I've seen multiple people do this and just brushed it off but now, its a real question of mine.
In 1.13 you can swim so if you are in that version or higher, you can swim but for people in lower versions, it looks like they're just running quickly underwater..
Either the player has speed and they are hacking, which you can report here, or they are on a 1.13+ backend which allows them to swim faster than 1.8.9 (SG Backend). Hopefully this helps!
heya, just one last quick one to add, if a player is walking ON water, 100% report them for hacking as it means they are using a hacked client known as 'Jesus'. As for the fast walking in water, both the above 2 replies are correct, 1.13 allows you to swim faster as it was added with the aquatic update. ,nik question answered ~ thread locked
