It's no secret that games are not always perfect. Yes, they are tested for a very long time and carefully, eliminating all the flaws. But at the same time, several bugs can still get into the final version, and unfortunately, players will see them. That is why there are patches - developers release them, having collected enough feedback from users about these or those shortcomings. However, there are such bugs that can benefit players, and irresponsible individuals, having discovered such a flaw, will not report it, but will try to use it, cash in on it or use it for their own benefit. Such bugs include a dup that can be found in Minecraft. Further it is necessary to consider in more detail what bugs are in general, in particular, what is a dup.
Bugs in games
There is a full classification of flaws that you can find in computer games. There are glitches, and friezes, and crashes, and much more. Someone uses certain terms, someone is unfamiliar to them, and they replace them with something more familiar to them - and so new words are formed, which then take root or not. Bugs are a universal definition that applies in all countries. Knowing what it is will help you figure out what a dup is.
As you might guess, “bug” is a word that comes from the English bug, which translates as “bug”. In fact, these errors and errors are really like bugs, which even after careful checks manage to lie low and then crawl out at the most inopportune moment. A bug is any error in the game code, due to which some kind of malfunction occurs in the process. The character may appear at the wrong point and get stuck in textures, a huge amount of money can fall out of the chest, or the object that is needed to advance the plot will not drop out of the monster. All of these are bugs reported to developers, and they fix them whenever possible. Dup also refers to bugs that periodically occur on Minecraft servers. So what is a dup?
Dup - what is it?
In Minecraft, you can periodically come across certain bugs that may be useful. But, of course, their use is contrary to the rules, so they try to fight them. One of the most famous is the dup. The name may seem strange to you, but over time, everything will fall into place. What is a dup? This is a bug due to which certain objects in the game are duplicated, that is, the character has twice as many of them as it should have been. This name came from the English duplicate, which means "duplication." Initially, English-speaking players reduced this word to dupe, and then the Russian-language segment adopted the term. Some say that there is a command for the dupe that activates it, but most often it either happens by chance, or is called by the character himself.
Random bugs
The most common are random dupes, which are caused by flaws in coding or inconsistencies in the process of generating the world. You do not need a team for a dupe that would specifically call it - you can easily find examples and just like that. Some mobs can be born in strange places, because of which this process can be repeated. The same applies to the generation of various blocks and resources. But even if it benefits you, it’s better to inform the administrator, as this is illegal, and you can get a ban for using the dup. Although in this case, the likelihood of this is small, since you simply will interact with the outside world.
Everything is much more complicated if duplication is called intentionally. If you want such a game, you can find a special one, on which a dup is allowed, the Minecraft server. Here you can use cheats, mods and other things that can shake the balance. On standard servers, doing this is not recommended.
Artificial Dupa Challenge
Minecraft servers with dupes can be found everywhere, but if you want to play honestly, then duplication can prevent this. This bug is quickly fixed on those servers where the administration works efficiently, but, as mentioned earlier, bugs are bugs. And in the end, you can still find a loophole to use them for your own purposes. For example, a dup can be called up by building a cunning system of pistons and an electric railway in which the former will knock down the element of the latter, and a new one will appear instead.
In general, most of the duplications occur precisely with the use of pistons. For example, mining endless iron in place of the spawn of iron golems. However, do not think that dupes will get away with you - most often you do not need so many items, and you decide to sell them, and on many servers there is strict control of prices and trade in general, and the process itself may be noticed by someone. So in Minecraft, dupes are best used only on those sites where it is allowed.
Why use a dup?
For many players, it may be a strange reason why other people use dupes. However, there is nothing special here - just in any game there are those who want to cash in on some shortcomings or glitches. There are gamers who will look for any loophole in order to benefit from it. Do not be like them, because all the secret all the same in the end becomes apparent.
Punishment
If you decide to duplicate things on the server, where it is prohibited, then do not think that you can do it all with impunity. Where the administration is not particularly vigilant, you won’t get any benefit from a dup. And where it can represent a real source of benefit, you will be promptly banned.
