Where Should We Draw the Line for Banning Hackers

Hey guys,


I'm the owner of an upcoming MMORPG server called Quest Universe, and I've been thinking a lot about hackers, and I'm not sure where to draw the line. I've noticed that some people who hack don't really fit a typical Minecraft hacker description, there are people who might fly around in the lobby but not actually use any other hacks, some people use animated skins and sneak around spawn, but don't use their hacks against mobs and other players. A few even mess around with Killaura in the lobby and spawn but don't actually use it in a situation that would be advantageous to them. A few members of the staff team and I also use hacks, things like Fastbreak/Fastplace and Autobuild to get work down more quickly, and I've noticed people using Schematica and other mods to help them build things. Where do you guys think I should draw the line and why?

I want this to be on open discussion and I don't believe in an absolute answer for every scenario, please inform me if you think something new should be added to the list of where to draw the line.

Also is it possible to put a poll on here? That would be pretty helpful


Here's the add for the discord server, I don't wanna get spammed with DMs and friend requests so I'm not putting my discord here, and pretend you see the disord symbols instead of just text.

A little @everyone for the road as well

I think in order to run a server that is anti-hacking the line has to be drawn right when an admin or mod suspects that hacks have been installed. This is only fair to the players who want an equal playground without advantages to some.

Very close in my opinion. Hacking destroys the whole game, even if it's as light as X-Ray.

As teeslee says, as soon u suspect someone is hacking: Do something about it.
I think everyone who uses a hacked client is going to use it for their own good, why bother installing it if they arent going to use it, right?

I think a short ban if you catch them once, then increase the ban time exponentially.
