Minecraft’s History of Hacks

Minecraft hackers love or hate them they’re always gonna be around and as a matter of fact people have been hacking in minecraft since the year it was released more than a decade ago but how did this all start how did we go from literal rock hack inclines to the extremely

Sophisticated ones we see today well in this video we’re going to be taking a deep dive into the evolution of minecraft tax let’s just get straight into it may 17 2009 minecraft is officially released to the public now when you take a look at what the game looked like back then you would

Probably think there is no possible way that hacks could be made for this game well someone decided to do it anyways when the game was in its multiplayer testing phase in june 2009 one of the first known hacks that was released and used was a client called world of minecraft basically all

This client would allow you to do was fly around faster and sporadically in creative mode that’s it keep in mind that survival multiplayer wasn’t even a thing yet so this was literally created so you could do this in a creative server but i mean i i wouldn’t expect a hack for an unknown

Game in 2009 to be that good but what about when survival was released well survival mode was released in october 2009 and now there was somewhat of a reason for client developers to make hacks besides to be fast in creative mode one of the most common early day survival hacks was

Inventory edits where you basically open up your hack clients and you can give yourself whatever item you want but bruh you actually mine for your diamonds and make their reason to play the game you got the whole squad laughing right now i just use inventory edit to give them to myself

Now inventory edit wasn’t really a problem at first since all they could do was cheat in their own worlds but in august of 2010 survival multiplayer is released and that’s where the fun starts happening mc cheats one of the most sophisticated clients of its time was released and

Started to become a problem among survival servers right off the bat not only did it have inventory edit so you could get whatever item you wanted but you also had a hack module with features like fly mode and invincibility i mean just look at this guy taking zero damage from gas fireballs

Like an absolute champ considering most servers didn’t have good anti-cheat in 2010 there is nothing stopping a hacker from giving himself full diamond armor as he goes on to mercilessly kill you and on top of that there was other clients like cheat engine which hacked your health making it so you always had

Full hearts even if you were to try to burn yourself alive yeah all of these hacks are pretty pathetic you know at the time these were made minecraft wasn’t a competitive game at all meaning people hacking were solely doing it to cause others pain it’s almost as bad as hackers and games

Like fall guys it really just doesn’t make sense luckily during 2011 when mc cheats and other hacks were becoming a bigger problem mojang moved server management to actual server side rather than client side which prevented god mode hacks like mc cheats pretty well but of course solving

Hacking in a game would never be that simple and in 2012 when minecraft really started to boom in popularity the infamous hack client known as notice was developed now if you were a 2010 or a 2011 player you may have thought mccheat was bad but notice just may have

Made you want to quit the game entirely this hack client was released mid 2012 and it’s the first hack that is somewhat similar to what we have today it had the in-game drop down menu and features like fly nuker tracers x-ray spider and a lot more

It was also free so anyone could use it which made it spread so much faster unlike the majority of hack clients today though most people use this for griefing because back in 2012 a lot of people got a kick out of griefing you can even tell because in the chat

That you and other notice users share everyone is blatantly asking each other for servers to grief the main reason why this client was so useful for griefing was because of the never before seen nuker feature which basically allowed you to destroy multiple blocks at a time completely destroying innocent players

Builds even on creative servers hackers would just run around clicking a build once and reduce it to atoms as you can see notice was starting to become a major problem and the only way to prevent people from using it on your server was to manually watch and ban them but

Who wants to do that so anti-cheap plugins would be created no cheap plus being the most significant no cheap plus works a lot like the anti-cheap plugins we see today if you try to fly using notice you simply would not be able to unless fewer built difference if you

Tried to spider up a wall using notice you would not be able to thanks to no cheap plus immediately when this anti-cheat was made every single server scrambled to get it installed as it was one of the only ways to keep up with the upcoming growth of hackers

And for a small amount of time hacking wasn’t too big of a problem plugins like noche plus had basically dealt with the biggest threats like movement hacks and nuker but this wouldn’t last forever client developers needed to figure out a new feature for their hack clients to dominate servers and that’s when

Pvp hacks like hellora and no knockback were born now if you don’t know what kellora is it’s where you lose control of your arms and killora will attack your opponent for you even if you are looking in the complete opposite direction pvp hacks were basically non-existent before no t

Plus as you can see one of the only pvp features in notice during 2012 was aimbots but once one client’s like noticed got their hands on something like killora it spread to all of the other existing clients like fire these pvp hacks were probably worse than the movement hacks like fly because

They’re so much harder for admins to detect since no anti-cheat at the time could automatically prevent them and once again it was down to the admins to watch fights to see if there was any hackers about killora is just one example of how creative hack client developers were getting during minecraft’s rise especially

In 2013 and soon new clients like weepingcraft would create features like immunity to soul sand slowness and only slight speed hacks which were pretty much undetectable if the hacker was cautious enough then in 2014 a new hack client called wurst would emerge that would change everything worst was like a better notice

Its interface was cleaner it was free had more unique features it wasn’t sketchy like other hack clients so you didn’t have to risk getting a virus yeah 11 year old me learned that one the hard way and the best part about it was that it was able to bypass

Most anti-jesus and anti-fly plug-ins which had never been done before these bypasses made this client extremely appealing and worse quickly rose to the most used client during this time if you were on a pvp server and came across a hacker most likely they would be using worst

Because it was also perfect for pvp the only clients that were contesting worst in quality was paid clients now let’s talk a bit about these paid clients some of these paid clients were five dollars and sometimes people would pay a small price of five hundred dollars basically they had everything free

Clients like wurst had so is usually a waste of your money but occasionally developers of these paid clients created a new feature that made it worth your money an example of this was in 2015 when block hitting was created block hitting was a deadly hack it automatically block and hits

Using your sword and you would deal damage to your opponent while only taking 50 percent of the damage given to you it was extremely effective in pvp and if you had a paid client with block hits and was going against a free client hacker who didn’t have block hits

Who would win by a long shot some of these paid clients were the first to have features like teleportation as well these money clients tried to keep their features like block hitting secrets but soon free clients like wurst would pick up on them making it so widespread and

Such a problem that servers would eventually patch hacks like these this process would often repeat itself paid clients makes game breaking hack but it’s mostly unknown free client picks it up and that hack gets patched but one hack that still hadn’t been patched yet was killora

Until it was in 2016 killora was finally made detectable and automatically bannable with the right plugins yes finally you didn’t have to deal with killura hackers and mineplex bacon brawl anymore wait wait they they can just turn down their calories slightly so that it’s not detected

No no no no this this can’t be yeah during this time hackers and developers were always finding ways to hustle the system whether it’s by making a new feature a new bypass or turning down their hack slightly they just kept on coming as a matter of fact wurst was getting drowned out in

The amount of new free clients being developed that were just as good like impact but wait isn’t 2016 when the combat update or 1.9 came out so maybe that helped solve some hacks like hellora and block hitting well not really most servers stayed on 1.8 combat and for the ones that did switch

Clients quickly adapted and made kalora have time tits as well as giving you solid reach now as we get into 2017 and 2018 it marks the end of an era yeah new hack clients will always be coming up and there’ll always be a back and forth war between anti-cheats and hacks

But as we get into mid 2018 something new is developed and perfected a hack that’ll start a new era baritone basically baritone is a pathfinding bot you can give the bot a task and it’ll do whatever that task is for you from your own character for example if

You’re too lazy to build a house just get the items needed for it and baritone will build it for you if you need to walk a million blocks on 2v2t overnight but you want to sleep the bots will walk there for you baritone was originally created by impact the client i mentioned earlier

That was overtaking worst but just like always other hack clients have picked it up since then usually baritone is used on anarchy servers where it’s allowed for massive builds and such but it is in fact banned on most servers like hypixel this is because if you were to let it grind

Out for example wood and sky block for you as shown by this individual who is not me it’s considered an unfair advantage to other players who actually want to play the game legit honestly though baritone just has to be one of the craziest hacks ever created i mean i mean just look at

This video of it doing parkour it’s literally a robot how is it this good maybe the developers of baritone are trying to warn us of robots in the future just making humans completely useless or something i don’t know overall though i’m just curious what type of hacks are going to be made in

The future because with bare tone and how sophisticated it is i think anything is possible even minecraft girlfriend hack well that’s that we went from pointless inventory hacks to actual artificial intelligence also one last thing i want to mention is please please don’t hack it ruins the

Experience for others and it is just very sad lastly none of the multiplayer hacking clips in this video were of me playing but uh if you enjoyed the video and are feeling up to it you might as well subscribe my socials and discord are in the description

Thanks for watching i’ll see you all in the next one You
