Well since i didnt know where else to post this i figured i would post it in the server admin section.
If your a FTB server owner, You know there is a Creative hack client going around which if used in any way can devestate your server and its players, and as far as i know there is no well known 100% fix
So I make this thread looking for people who would like to know more, Or for people who have the knowledge/ability to create a fix for this MAJOR problem.
Also, Lets all get pitchforks and chase the guy who released this hack out of town.
Alright to the point, I have a few ways i fight this hack and the things people can do with it
1. Your gunna wanna ban Spawn eggs, Esspecialy the hydra spawn egg since the hydra breaks blocks in its way and can be easily used to nuke your spawn
2. if you have worldguard set your spawns region flag gamemode to survival, So only Ops can be in creative in that region ( most hackers will join, try the hack and fail, And leave thinking it doesnt work on your server) Thanks to Mr_gavitt for clarifying this idea, Also set all your regions with this flag to be safe.
3. A plugin that bans people in creative when they dont have a certain permision and interact in the world.
this can help alot, Ive had a friend make one for me, but sadly it can be bypassed easily by just draging out of the creative inventory, i would give you guys the plugin but its not mine to re-distribute =P
(People who can make plugins can make this easily)
if you have any other ways to combat this hack, please share it here!
BEST KNOWN 100% SOLUTION!
(Thanks to Mr_gavitt for this info)
As posted above the hack can be prevented with world edit region flags but sadly those flags only affect the region with the flag, i now know you can set flags on the whole world with
"/region flag __global__ gamemode survival"
This will prevent anyone who is not op or not a member of the global region from being in creative in the whole world
100% fix would be considered something that fixes the problem without sacrificing anything else
