Since the release of the Minecraft sandbox game, quite a lot of time has passed. This game has acquired a semblance of clones, that is, the essence of the process remained the same, but some aspects changed. So, for example, appeared "Terraria", which has not yet gained the same impressive laurels. As for the Minecraft itself, it still remains one of the most popular computer entertainment, as it gives players almost unlimited freedom in the world. Moreover, it provides an opportunity to choose whether you want to build your own world yourself or prefer to do it together with other players.
Minecraft online
Everyone has already tried to play the single version of the game, but only those who are already as confident as possible will go into multiplayer. After all, there you will meet with very strong players who have immense experience behind them. And here what server you are going to play a very important role. The fact is that there are two areas of the game. In one, players simply travel the world, can help each other, compete with each other, build houses, craft items and so on. But there is another mode in which contacts between players are minimized, since here they prefer to create. Each player can prescribe certain mods for themselves that override some of the original rules of the game. This makes the process of building colossal structures easier. Here you will not have to hunt in order to provide yourself with food, you will not need to worry about mobs attacking you, you will not need to get resources for building - you can completely devote yourself to the creative process. It is from such a server on the Internet that you can find incredible screenshots of wonderful buildings from Minecraft. However, both the first and the second type have a serious problem that cannot be finally resolved. The most terrible misfortune of Minecraft is griffering, which thrives on absolutely all servers.
What is grifting?
So, if you come across a similar term for the first time, then it is worth explaining it in more detail. After all, if you are going to play on the network in Minecraft, griefing can be a real problem for you. This term implies certain actions aimed at damaging the players or their buildings. In other words, this is the criminal part of the Minecraft world. Grippers can appear anywhere at any time, and here everything depends on the server administration - how quickly it can calculate unwanted elements and eliminate them. After all, if you do not do it on time, grippers can cause serious damage to both players and the whole world. Therefore, on Minecraft’s online servers, grief is very seriously monitored and inexorably punished.
Grippers and their equipment
The grippers, of course, do not come to the server in the same form as the players are there. To do their dark things, they pre-supply their client with a variety of modifications. Of course, these are not those legal mods that make it easier to create on those servers where the emphasis is on building, but cheat modifications and plugins that give the character such opportunities that he should not have. And these features are used by grippers clearly not for the benefit of the game world. On the contrary, just for the destruction of the Minecraft world, greasing is also applied, which cannot but upset honest players who simply want to enjoy the process. It is difficult to say what the griffin is guided by when trying on the mods that make it possible to improve the ability to walk on water, look through blocks and see in the dark. This can be both envy of those who can achieve more without using cheating methods, or the usual tendency to vandalism. But in any case, grippers can appear on all servers, and the administration needs to know what exactly they can do, and most importantly, how to deal with it. After all, if you want popularity for your Minecraft universe, server-side gripe should be eradicated, as it repels new users and forces old ones to look for new places to play.
Common vandalism
The most common form of griefing is destruction. It is the easiest to implement, so the grippers use it. Minecraft server’s grafting can take place as follows. A group of players with a client pumped through a cheating image enters the server and begins to methodically destroy what was built by others. On
creation servers,
this is done exclusively from vandalism, since no one can get profit or benefit from the destruction of other people's designs. And in another mode, griefing can go to a new level - here it can be a hunt for resources and things of other players, which does not make this approach legal. Most often, Minecraft modding leads to quick calculation if experienced people are in the administration. Moreover, the construction server can be protected using a special plug-in that eliminates the destruction of blocks. A special program is also used to create backup copies of the world so that nothing will be lost after a raid of grippers.
You can’t destroy - create
If a server is used on the server that protects against destruction of blocks, then griefers quickly find a way out and move on to another primitive form of wrecking - they create it. Naturally, they do not do anything wonderful, most often it turns out to be just a random set of blocks, designed to spoil the appearance of the world, or to purposefully create a variety of images, such as swastikas or some obscene sculptures. And if someone wants to begin to spoil the appearance of the Minecraft world, graffiti lessons will be at his service. Everything is really so bad - they even teach gribeling, purposefully unite in groups to cause as much damage as possible. But there is no mod against the creation, so with a similar manifestation of vandalism, you can fight only by rolling back to the backup. Well, and, of course, you need to strive to clean Minecraft yourself - the school of grafting, if one was discovered, should be eliminated as quickly as possible. This will not solve the problem, but at least create difficulties for the grippers.
Famous Greeting Schools
Unfortunately, schools that teach vandalism continue to breed. There are even popular sites and channels on YouTube where experienced grippers teach beginners how to more effectively harm players and game worlds. The video “Greyfarming in Minecraft with Mazyaka” circled the Internet for a long time - it contains the lessons of some user Mazyaki. He teaches how best to harm and inflict damage, which, of course, causes waves of indignation from honest players.
Spawning mob with mobs
As you know, spawn mobs are always tightly controlled on servers by the administration, but griefers manage to bypass this control. And then they carry out not the most pleasant activity - massively revive the mobs that can quickly fill the whole world. Fighting such a griffin is not easy, because there is only a team with which you can kill all the mobs in the world. After that, you will have to re-fill the world with the required number of creatures.
Killing at the respawn point
Well, and, of course, the most unpleasant method for any lover of multiplayer is the so-called "quietness." The gripper can sit next to the point where players are reborn, and kill them on the spot, not even allowing them to arm themselves or do something. This method is common in many games, in Minecraft, he also found its application. But here you can deal with it by installing a special plug-in that prohibits damage to a player in the respawn zone. This measure can be supplemented by creating a special design at the point of revival, from which it will be possible to hide unnoticed, leaving the griefer without the desired prey.
