    When I speak to players on MinecraftParty, I ask them what their least favourite is. A good majority say Dead End. Although dead end has the potential to be extremely fun, it hosts some horrible bugs which make it very unpopular.

    Glitch 1: World Holes. Although the Minecraft world holes bug was fixed many versions ago, occasionally a approximately 15x15 hole appears on the map, this ensures certain doom for any player in it or possibly near it. This glitch does not happen all the time, but is still deadly and unpopular. Sometimes when a "World hole" appears it sometimes gets filled back up with the gold and bedrock during a game.

    Glitch 2: Hover. When players run across each other's paths it may take up to 3 seconds for the player to actually fall into it. This gives the impression that the player is hovering or flying, leading to many wrongly accused "hacking claims".

    Glitch 3: Teleport back. The most common glitch in dead end is the "teleport back" or "lagged back" glitch. This is when from the very beginning of the countdown, cannot move and when tries, gets teleported back to their original position. This happens to a average of 3 to 6 players every game.

    I would be very happy if the staff team could fix these bugs and so would everyone else. However, I have put a poll saying what you would like to happen.

    These glitches you named are all mostly client side bugs.

    1: World holes were indeed patched, but I'm pretty sure they happen now if your client can't load all the chunks in that area. I can't be 100% sure on that but I know it's client side.

    2: This is due to lag or to hackers. When they either fall the player lags thus causing a little latency to see when they actually are out. Or if they're hacking, they'll turn on fly hacks to try and prevent themselves from losing.

    3: This is caused by NoCheat because it thinks you're sprinting before the game starts so it'll glitch you back to your old spot. The best way to stop this from happening is to stop moving, and press shift(or sneak) and then try and you should be good to go.

    Hope I explained it well enough for you!

    @Mario has it all down, but the only thing I would like to touch up on is #2.

    2: The reason it "takes so long" is because the blocks that disappear behind a person don't break until 2-3 seconds after the person is there. This is because we had to make it so people didn't have to sprint to to stay alive the entire time. If we made it so the blocks broke right behind the person, you would die if you ever stopped sprinting. This is why players don't always die right away if you run in front of them.

    Hope we answered your questions :smile:

    Well, Mario and Hudstorm beat me here. I'll add on to some points.
    The world holes may be a server side bug, or it may be a client side bug. Several people have had an issue with a hole in the world during the same match, so it may be server side. I'm not an expert though, don't quote me on this.
    You can't sprint in Dead End, so we needed to delay the time before the blocks disappeared.

    The game is quite... quirky. However, it mostly works, and it's a decent game.

    Dead End is the running thing with the gold blocks?
    If you get TPed back it means you are lagging, or the server is.
    But Hud and Mario have it covered. Just try to fix your connection and it should be fine.

    The only glitch I get is when running against a wall I sometimes get stuck on the wall like I'm standing on the block. Then after a second I'm teleported back and killed. There are bugs in every minigame but I do think you're correct in that Dead End has some of the worst ones.

    I've noticed this glitch as well. If you get to close to the wall, or accidentally run into it, your stuck for a few seconds, then moved back onto the map and you lose. Rather annoying, but I just refrain from colliding with the walls.

    As for the other bugs, Mario, Hudstorm and Brawler pretty much explained it. The only ones I see really requiring a "fix" is the sprint lag back (if possible), and the glitching into walls.

    It's a very fun game if you know how to play it.
    I agree, some of it is a laggy, but you get used to it.
    I also already reported the world holes.

    Personally, this isn't my favorite game, but I still find it pretty fun to play. I haven't experienced a world hole before, and as for the teleporting, I found this frustrating at first, but I learned that if you just hold shift for a second or two, it stops. So, for me, once I get rid of the teleporting it's fun to play.

    This game creates some strange lag for a lot of our players and I believe we will be attempting to fix that very soon. Its defiantly not my favorite game, but its still a lot of fun (All the games are :wink:)
