A program to detect people with reach
Everyone has an invisible bubble (size of the normal reach of a person). You are inside the bubble and if you hit a player outside of your bubble, you get kicked (because of the reach).
Bows, snowballs, etc. doesn’t count
I think this may be hard to code bc of the snow ball and bows also mobile players I think have more reach and this would probably put a lot of strain on the server but still good Idea
I see what your idea is, and how it could work. Issue: I don’t know how to program so I don’t know if this is even possible. Good idea though
This could lead to false bans for more laggy players, and I’m not knowledgeable on anticheat or hacked clients (except for using the latter on anarchy servers), but server anticheats should detect reach, and clients will attempt to circumvent the anticheats just as aggressive
They don’t
that’s just what sweaty pc players say when they lose to mobile players it’s just a myth (Can y’all stop saying that, btw?)
mobile players do have half a block more reach on vanilla minecraft (at least they did when I tested it 2 years ago), but hive accounts for this, so all platforms have the same reach regardless of platform on the hive.
They actually very much do
Mobile players have about half a block of reach on the hive
edit: I actually didn’t see tgt reply
I didn’t know about the difference in vanilla Minecraft, that’s interesting
Coding a very good reach detecting module for an Anti Cheat isn’t as easy as it sounds.
Biggest problem is lag- because of high ping it might take a while for the server to receive the hit packet which gives a bigger reach.
There really isn’t a way to have a good reach detection module without many false kicks and let’s be honest- it’s more fun to fight a hacker than get kicked.
