Till now the lags are there and everytime I passes by them, my game just goes to 0 fps, not responding, and I need to close minecraft, reopen and rejoin this server. It is super annoying so please fix It ASAP. Those lags never appeared at my town before.

[DragonEngineerParticipant]

It’s not about age though. There’s 1 part of our education system that teaches us how to handle this kind of banning situation with given evidences. Hence we will have a certain level of advantage when coming to this.

For you information.
In ANY ban appeal, everyone is actually making an empty claim, even myself and the mods.
Why? Because there’s no evidence shown to everyone. A simple screenshot will do. For this I am just going to ignore the fact that photographs are the MOST UNRELIABLE source as an evidence to prove something, thanks to nowadays picture editing technology. A video will be better.

So for rockstorm125, he needs to show a screenshot of him not using Xray (I hope he had taken it). For the mods, screenshot of him using Xray is required. Otherwise we are all just “doing” storytelling.

You must also note that in ANY ban appeal. Every piece of information is useful, even if it is a lie, an opinion or an incorrect judgement. Also, the person who got banned may not always be the one lying. He may be telling the truth.

[DragonEngineerParticipant]

This is a similar case to how our assistant, Amanuelcool, was banned. Basically, I don’t know why, almost all my assistants got banned at least once

To be honest, I am very disappointed with this kind of banning without sufficient information. My dear assistant, Amanuelcool, is quitting this server because he had lost faith to the survival server moderators.

By analysing what rockstorm125 said, diamonds are common below Y=13, and it is true according to the game developer, not just the wiki.

Strip mining is about removing every single stones or ores you see, thereby will have 100% chance of exposing ores, which may include diamond ores or other expensive ores. Strip mining and branch mining are 2 main methods of mining which most Xrayers do not adopt.

Here is 1 behaviour of an Xrayer: Mines randomly, occasionally meets expensive ores. If both criteria are not fulfilled, it is not sufficient to say a person uses Xray. That is either 1 is insufficient to prove person using Xray.

By seeing someone finding diamond ores, is it right to say “He uses Xray mod”???? If you straight away ban him for using Xray, then you accepted information uncritically, (aka Uncritical acceptance of information). Take some time to analyse what is really going on.

I heard Headmods can access to a player’s .minecraft file to see if he has Xray mod. However it cannot prove a person is using Xray, because the Xray mod may not be activated.

melee49 and I don’t want to re-write things like “critical thinking” or stuff like that. Because we get very angry if mods do not read what we told them and continue to make the same kind of mistakes.

[DragonEngineerParticipant]

Need to specify somethings
1: Those chunks never lag so badly last time. Only had it suddenly
2: There’s no redstones stuff nearby. Except for one of the coordinate stated, but it doesn’t cause significant lag.

[DragonEngineerParticipant]

megaseth020 also has such problem – sharp fps drops in those areas. For me the game will just be “not responding”.

[DragonEngineerParticipant]

Another area of crash is around x:-742 z:386

Ignore this chat, typed at wrong place

OK I am going to make this yet another super long comment like I did in Amanuelcool’s ban appeal. I am not protecting Ender243. I am just trying to express what I feel about this.

Firstly, regarding lag. If there’s lag, the actions that happened during the lag will actually be delayed. So if someone attacks another person during lag. The “hits” will be delayed for a short while and then “released” all at one go. Thus giving the misconception that looks like someone is using aura kill when he actually does not.

Secondly, in the forth reply by xXK1NGxR3APERXx. “You hit her when not even facing her” actually have 2 possibilities. Either he used Aimbot (Which I hope he did not), or, again lag. Why do I say lag? For any 2 people in the world, especially if the 2 users are far apart. There will be RARELY an occasion that an action happened in the server will be seen by 2 users at the same time (This also happens to the most lag free servers). That means, if a moderator released a firework somewhere and seen by 2 players. These 2 players will not see the release of explosion of the firework at exactly the same time.

From the given information I infer that what Ender243 sees on his screen is slightly delayed as compared to what SydHead sees. So when Ender243 hits SydHead, SydHead may be behind Ender243 in SydHead’s screen, SydHead may well be in front of Ender243 in Ender243’s screen.

What w9mohamed said is very true, “you can’t kill someone with lag you get killed cause of lag”. But in this case, Ender243 said SydHead isn’t hitting (I need SydHead’s viewpoint to justify that), so only Ender243 can kill SydHead.

Also, seeing a person using aura kill is NOT 100% means that person is really using aura kill. Our minds can be messed up, giving a misconception. Moderators had seen multiple times people really using aura kill, so this may give a misjudgment of attacking speed.

A good way to check if a person uses aura kill is to check the sword durability. I am sure there’s a plugin that can see what another player sees in their screen. If the sword durability decreases by 100+ in a matter of seconds, and the decrease at high speed lasts over a long time (eg 10 seconds), then it is confirmed a person uses aura kill. Note that sword durability decreases by 100+ in a matter of seconds is always INSUFFICIENT as evidence to prove a person uses aura kill, thanks to lag again…

Skipper7478 said there were 2 witnesses. If their viewpoints are similar, then what each other said are true. HOWEVER, bear in mind that those 2 people may be trying to set up Ender243 in a planned sabotage, so you must question their reliability before coming to a conclusion.

That’s all I can say. Because there’s still lots of missing information.

You have to know mods are humans, not a perfect lawyers, so there will still be mistakes made by the moderators. When coming across such incident again, do not junp to conclusion, instead compare and contrast the viewpoints, and provide concrete evidence, before arriving at a conclusion.

[DragonEngineerParticipant]

Well I hope it’s a misconception, and quickly join us back. Our town will be very dead without you 2, plus Amanuelcool.

[DragonEngineerParticipant]

OK then provide concrete evidence that Amanuelcool used Xrays.
I am still very sceptical about how you guys identify Xrayers

So I hope the mods will understand and unban Amaunelcool ASAP.

[DragonEngineerParticipant]

OK I am just going to be very objective, I am neither protecting Amaunelcool nor criticising the moderators. I am just expressing what I am feeling.

He said, and according to wiki, most diamonds are found around y=11. So having so many diamonds at there is nothing suspicious. I once found a vein of diamonds by mining straight from a cave – found by luck. This doesn’t mean I am using X-ray.

Regarding Zig-zagging, it also does not mean a person is using Xray. In prison server, I mine randomly, hence forming the zig zag pattern. It does not mean I know there’s ores are over there, I just meet them coincidentally.

Amanuelcool told me that blue told the mods that Amaunelcool was using Xray. Does it mean whatever blue said is true and Amanuelcool is a lie? Where’s the evidence?? The mods might have made an ASS out of U and ME (if you don’t get it, it means ASSUME).

I give you some cases
Case 1:
Person A accused Person B that Person B uses Xray. What Person A said may NOT be useful as evidence saying Person B is using Xray as Person A may be framing Person B.

Case 2:
Person A claimed himself using Xray. This makes what Person A said VERY useful as evidence saying Person A is using Xray.

Case 3:
Person A accused Person B that Person B uses Xray and Person B said that he uses Xray. Both viewpoints supports one conclusion, making what Person A said VERY useful.

Case 4: Person A accused Person B that Person B uses Xray but Person B said he did not. Only one person or both people are lying, but we don’t know who, then you need to take a look at multiple viewpoint to see which conclusion the viewpoints support. Note that those providing the viewpoints must have no relationship to the accused and each other, otherwise the reliability is questionable. The “framing” might be set up or planned.

The mods also told me they cannot see what another player sees directly, yet claiming that they are 100% sure that a person is using Xray, I thereby feel very sceptical about the mods’ way of identifying Xrayers. Because how can a mod be 100% sure a person is using Xray if they cannot see directly what another player is seeing on his screen (thereby no concrete evidence).

You have to know mods are humans, not a perfect lawyers, so there will still be mistakes made by the moderators. In this case they probably assumed by believing what blue and and not Amaunelcool (according to what Amaunelcool told me). When coming across such incident again, do not junp to conclusion, instead compare and contrast the viewpoints, and provide concrete evidence, before arriving at a conclusion.

As I said, I am just being very objective, I am neither protecting Amaunelcool nor criticising the moderators. I am just expressing what I am feeling. So I don’t think I deserve any form of punishment such as fine or banning.

I just updated this game.
– Added Side Effect for sending powerful mobs.

Note that you can see 2 arenas. One of them is still under construction, please do not play that arena.

Comments:
1st idea: It’s a great way to keep the server going, also helps people when in need of cash. But if a players repeatedly buy in-game cash to rank up, it will end up losing the purpose of this game.

2nd idea: Great suggestion. Fire is great, but rank axes aren’t really very good. So for emerald donors, they deserve better axes than what we are using. However, players can repair their god axe or make god axe by combining lower enchantment axes, so they may only buy emerald donor once and that’s it. Try with efficiency more than 5 and unbreaking more than 3. So anviling it will actually downgrade the enchantment. Thus they will continuously buy emerald donor to keep that axe.
