Minecraft Minecraft's #1 flaw

So I made this thread to discuss, in my opinion, minecraft's #1 flaw. This is not intended against any servers, people, or even Microsoft/Mojang in particular. Please, don't be offended by anything I say here.

So one of the flaws you could say would be updating. I would disagree, since updating actually helps keep minecraft interesting and is here for the purpose of making minecraft more interesting. If you don't like a certain update, minecraft allows you to upgrade AND downgrade updates. For that reason alone, I have nothing against updates.

Now, I have to view this as an outside gamer rather than a regular minecrafter. I have played other games before, and it surprises me that minecraft actually doesn't have an important feature which has probably caused many previous minecrafters to leave.

Minecraft doesn't ban hackers. They don't even care. In so many games, take any of the very popular, you will see very few hackers. But the minecraft game itself doesn't have anything for them! One of the worst parts is that hackers can ruin player experiences on servers, get banned, and then do it on other servers.

And minecraft isn't really going to stop them.

One of the things I think for the support of hacking is mods, or modifications, used by many players. Many minecrafters have used mods before, and since they know how to download them, they can download hacking clients too.

But now let's look at it from Minecraft's point of view.

They always meant minecraft to be a single player sandbox game where you build and create. This simple concept pulled millions of people to the game. But then there was Multiplayer Mode, meant again for survival playing and maybe even working together to build creations in creative mode that look sick.

I bet most of you haven't even heard of Herobrine's Mansion... or at least remember. In my opinion, it's the best map created.

But servers have just created minigames, and that was where everyone flocked to. This was not a bad thing, but this was not what Minecraft had planned. The servers all became the seed for hackers.

I used to go on servers and never see a single hacker. About 2 years I saw very little. Then... so many people hack now.

Nobody would want to hack on a single player world! You can just do /gamemode 1 and do whatever you want anyway! Minecraft isn't really concerned with hackers since they mostly are on servers. Because of this, they don't really care.

The only problem is that almost every minecraft lives and breathes on servers.

Now Minecraft was still very bent on having single player worlds. So they upped the difficulty of PvP, making it so you had to have skill and time your swings, like most games, instead of jitter-clicking. And they made wooden axes do as much damage as a diamond sword.

This actually got the minecraft community pretty upset, because again- very few play survival. It ruined a lot of gameplay... and then later oh no! Minecraft made EULA and is ruining servers!

EULA was always in the game and they just started to enforce is now as they see servers as a pay-to-win thing. All of this minecraft didn't want or intend. They just wanted single player.

Single player is very easy to beat, considering one of the only hard parts is getting 15 bookshelves and raiding the nether for potion materials. So now everyone is on servers. And people take advantage of others through hacking. And minecraft doesn't ban them, a way of saying that they still are not happy.

Every game has it's flaws. I came here to discuss what I think is the biggest flaw of minecraft.
Good day.

 

Yes, but what exactly are they going to do about people who make "hacking mods"? Sue them? Take them all down? It would be pretty time consuming for them to take all the unfair mods off of the Internet. And even then, people could share the files to certain mods around.

As for banning hackers themselves, I wish they would, but servers are mostly user-controlled and it's left up to the moderators to take care of hackers at need.

Banning people from the game entirely for using hacks means that:

-The hacker just wasted 30$ (Ordinarily I'd say "too bad" to that but if they're especially whiny they might try to sue for scams or whatever.)
-Mojang risks losing a paying customer, and losing money. They're a business after all, not a charity.
-The hacker could just buy a new account and do the same thing again. If they get IP banned, VPN is a thing.

So as nice as it would be, I don't know if they'll ever do it.
