I was playing with my friend in the Asia region (custom servers ) but I was unable to hit him ,
Even though I was not able to hit him projectiles would except ender pearls I have no idea how the bug happened but when I died it reset and I was able to hit him again a few more bugs like these take place like unable to store items in 2 and 4th slot of inventory this too resets after a death
I was on a mobile phone and was on 1.16.200
My friend was mobile too and was on 1.16.40
dont think they were hacking it might be some kind of visual bug or something im not sure tho ill make a custom sever and try some settings and see whatās up
the projectiles you were able to hit them so I would assume it was a visual bug
I have experienced this bug before; if you turn gens off invisible gold will generate and you will not be able to hit anyone/break anything while holding it. The only way to get rid of it is by dying.
putting generators on amount 0 and walking over the gen, you will pick up āinvisibleā gold and the slot that the gold is, you wont be able to hit entities when your hand is in that slot.
This fix is part of an update to custom servers, which is currently being rolled out. It is currently available on NA, and will be available everywhere soon.
