Question about the bannability of hacking

That’s bannable.

Long story short, I used to play CTF back in the MCPVP days. The code was very buggy, especially when it comes to rendering (some chunks or even all blocks in the entire map would go invisible- I have vids in my channel dating from this time for this exact bug). I found a solution in roughly 2013 by using x-ray to flash the screen to refresh the block visibility in CTF, a game mode with no advantage for using X-ray. Eventually the bug was fixed by MCPVP and I forgot all about the client.

Flash forward to 2016- I record a video and post on YouTube. The old, crappy, unused client at one point prompts me in the chat bar for an upgrade, and it is caught in my video. @AnonymousGalaxy and others discover this, ban me (although I had never used it in raid), and my rep takes a hit and I’m labeled a known hacker. If you recall, there was a mod application I submitted a year ago that had overwhelming support from the community but underwhelming support from staff, and that’s why. Eventually I got banned again, staff was cagey about it but the ‘proof’ they showed is that I was mining, happen to find a cobblestone column, dug down to the horribly hidden base and they called that X-ray, and based on history it was seen as justified. I didn’t care since I knew the ban wipe was coming, but pushed for answers and got very minimal ones.

So yeah, I’d say don’t use a client.

 

its weird bc if u carry drugs u wont get arrested for doing the drug u get arrested for possession as long as u arent caught doing it. so there should be a separate punishment if youre found with a client but were never caught using it

 

The best thing to do is to have separate profiles. One for a client, one for without a client. If you have a client but never use it, there really isn't any way for us to find out is there? Now if we do somehow find out that you have a client on the profile that you are using, we will most likely ban as we have no idea if whether or not you did indeed use it. It's kind of like using clients for fullbright. As most know, fullbright doesn't give you any advantage whatsoever but you can still be banned because it is a client.
Not sure if this really answers your question or not.

 

Imo if you have a hacked client installed but don't use it, you'll never get caught, so you won't be banned. Basically, it's not illegal if you don't get caught

 

First of all, brawl doesn't screenshare, so that's that.
About your ban, it's a tough situation to answer. Best option would be to appeal and wait for an answer

 

i didnt read any of that but hey, xray is xray

 

I'm confused on what you are trying to ask. You want to know if having a client installed, even if you never used it, will get you banned?

 

F3A isn't punishable so I don't understand why a shader glitch is

 

That isn't xray wtf xDD. what are you gonna xray? The void?

 

depending on your computer, f3a can be used to view players through walls, see what they're holding, what armor, etc.

 

@tallscot the issue is he was able to see through walls, lava (which in F3A is AFAIK not possible), AND he then abused said issue.
Personally I'm not a fan of the reasoning that you didn't caught meaning it wouldn't be illegal. I feel as if this would be abused so damn much as you could always just be unbanned due to a seed of doubt.

Also, considering that you knew that you had the issue and yet you still decided to take advantage of it (and before someone comes along and says "you don't know the whole story" - people are refusing to tell me the entire story and I was warned for when I asked about, so what am I supposed to think).
It's still a bannable offense. @Colonel_Graff and @Speedcell were once banned for an X-Ray glitch, considering that this was basically in the game thanks to Mojang I think it's pretty clear.

 

LabyMod's Damage Indicator feature is disabled on Brawl. If you're still able to use it, then you have a skidded version which I recommend de-installing since they're often RAT'd.

 

Just buy an urban you no life and stop crying.
