Welp, Ill honestly admit I was using a speed hack to quickly get somewhere, but in truth I should have just taken the long way and not make my house 40000 blocks away, I apologize.
It was around 9PM MDT (Mountain Day Time)
Hi guys, I did not want to have to go to this thread but recent events have pushed my hand. I do not believe I have sufficient evidence to justify a ban / prove somebody was actually cheating, however I do have sufficient evidence to at least justify a moderator keeping an eye on him at a later date.
Some context: I helped this new player who joined last week get set-up with some basic items from my villagers and he asked to see a project I was working on (a large hole in the ground). I took him to my project which the only way to access was through my base.... He ended up setting up a place near my base (maybe 400 blocks away) and I added him on discord as a result because we are now neighbours.
Fast forward to the weekend, I log on one day and notice some of my items (xp bottles, gunpowder and some insignificant items) was taken from my chests / shulkers in my base. I never gave him permission to take these items and told him to not step foot near my base again and if he ever wants any items in the future to ask for a trade. This breezed over on the day (as he agreed to my previous request) and I went about my normal business. Come towards the end of the day I got bored with what I was doing so decided to brew some invisibility potions and stalk my neighbour for the hell of it. As I was doing this, I noticed he was mining in my hole, not 1 minute into watching this kid I saw him walk around the hole (looking straight down) and then he stopped, dug straight down about 10 blocks and mined diamonds. I thought for a bit of a scare I would let off a firework rocket at the base of his little dig site, he swung his head around faster than I ever seen a minecraft player do before.... I sent him a private message saying "gotcha" (I believe at this point he thought I was a moderator, with the invisibility and all). That conversation led to me taking the following screenshot:
(kid admitting he used x-ray and also admitting to stealing some items of mine previously - although the latter is not the main focus here) please find it also attached.
Fast forward to today, I log on after two days of having this kid message me on discord each night to see if I was coming on / if I wanted to trade / If I wanted to give him an elytra etc. (I can easily provide proof of this if needed - it definitely points towards opportunity and motive). I find out that a few major items of mine are missing:
1. A bunch of sugar cane that he coincidentally asked for the night before (I don't have a farm, so this is an inconvenience to me)
2. I notice my chest of spare Elytra's had 2 used (nearly broken) elytras. Its obvious the kid borrowed it and didn't even bother to repair it.
3. A display god armour set I had on an armour stand in my base (prot 4, unbreaking 3, mending all around sort of deal), Instead it was replaced with the diamond armour set I gave him as a starter gift (still enchanted diamond armour, like protection 1, but the trick here was that it looked the same without actually checking it, I just had a bad feeling after noticing the previous items missing)
Besides from the god armour set, all of these events in and of them self would not justify me making a post about this kid, but it's the combination of all of these occurrences that have just gotten on my nerves. I have asked for my items back from him (specifically the armour set) and am waiting on a response (different time zones will do that to you), I will let you know the result of that in an update later this afternoon.
I am not sure what kind of action can be taken against this player with the information I have provided, but I do hope that this post will be evidence enough to justify moderators keeping an eye on him whenever he is online. I would be happy to see this kid behind bars.
This isn't specifically a report to ask to ban someone for going against the rules, just enough of a concern to make me dismantle and move base. Also sorry for this long winded and late report, I didn't want to go as far as reporting someone but as I logged in today seeing him and his actions I decided to at least put a semi-warning that this player has stolen before and might steal from others.
Yesterday:
I don't have a screenshot from yesterday (I'm hoping server minecraft chat logs are stored for more then 24hours) but about 24hours ago from this post, I bumped into some players at spawn, one player asked to see my base (yingoo), now I haven't shown anyone my base before but I went in thinking why not open up more, so I took him to my first base near spawn (not protected) which I shared with another when I started, they don't seem to play anymore sadly but that's besides the point; it had a portal from which I semi-knew how to get to my newer base from. So I took him through there kind of went in a circle since I had two similar waymarks (Xaero Minimap) and he kept relogging and stopping, we reach my new base portal which I kind have camouflaged in the nether.
Its a good 2k or so from the spawn nether portal, with my base being about 17k blocks out in the overworld (in grief protection), anyway I took him from my exit portal which is a walk away from the base and showed him around, he liked hanging in the small building with my chests in which made me a little uneasy, didn't say anything but I kept hearing him open up the same chests.
He then logs off, I check the chests he kept opening and noticed like 1 or 2 minor items missing, a stack of oak wood, some diamond horse armour. He asked for a stack of food which I allowed him to take however. I was talking to someone in chat about it and they said something about "how it starts, they take one or two things and then keep taking more". It kind of spooked me, knowing the rules myself, if someone steals from you, then you are allowed to PvP them, I guess yingoo thought I hadn't noticed the minor stealing though.
Thankfully I do use an ender chest and keep my valuables in there so he wouldn't have taken anything important. Yingoo logs back in as I went into my chest room when yingoo decided to block me in my room, which in my eyes was minor greifing, I am someone who doesn't tolerate a lot, I've have low trust with people (hence not being in a town) so that was the final straw for me. I have good armour and a good sword so I managed to kill him with one or two hits whilst he wasn't noticing and had his armour off (for some reason) mainly to get him out of my base. This was ok according to the rules as it fits under conditional PvP since I caught him stealing and minorly greifing.
He kind of minorly and off-handedly threatens after that that he'd "see me on Friday", then logs off. Now me being short tempered (but not agressively) and reading what another had said, thought that it was a threat that he'd come back to steal more. I decided to tear down my base and farms and move my things to another location temporarily whilst I decide on a new base), took me a few hours and during that time yingoo did log back on once to say I was up late and he went off again. I thought I can't leave anything here before I log out and rushed it out. I log out after tearing everything down and well "self-greified" myself to leave a statement that I've moved and picked up and gone, leaving it in an abandoned state, took a while to move stuff but I managed it alone.
I took down the portal in the overworld to my place (had to leave the one in the nether up though, but it did leave me with a way to detect if he returned if the portal reappeared if I logged back in). Just in case he noted my coordinates to return here before I managed to kill him for stealing and greifing.
Today:
I've returned, I had thought of just leaving the server to play on solo since I don't have to worry about other players but it didn't seem right to do so. I come on to see yingoo yelling my name at me in chat: Thankfully I had logged off near that base and first thing I did was to check if the portal had returned. It did so I called him out on it. He claims that he wanted to team (though I never saw or agreed to that, being the semi-solo player I am) and that he didn't steal anything. Now the things he did steal weren't really that valuable but he left an impression on me to not trust anyone on the server enough to let them onto my base. Not that I want the guy banned or anything, but I guess let it be on the record that I wouldn't trust him, and if mods/admins think it is worth it to do so or not.
He did say to come visit his base/clan (though with what he said in chat I've still no idea where it would be, not that I would want to visit someone I don't trust).
As I was writing this report, I checked in on the game to see him log in ask id I was there and he said "sorry" and logged off.
Me calling him out today on stealing.
Edit:
I am one to doubt myself too, I'm very sure I had one extra stack of oak logs and one more diamond horse armour and those two things are minor, but that's besides the point, the fact he wanted to block me in a room and kept checking I was online so he could return is very suspicious to me. Maybe he was trying to be playful or was having an odd evening, hence why I'm saying my intention isn't to ban but more to warn and "add it to the record". I'm also trying to remember who it was who warned me that they might steal again, but I'm coming up blank. Wouldn't of mentioned them by name anyway just incase yingoo does read my report on him.
Pretty sure the date was 3/10 around noon time. My apologies for using x-ray I was trying to be ahead but it was an honest mistake. It won't happen again.
Hi, my in game name is also madgodzilla, time of jail was around 7:00pm EST. Reason for jail, I don't actually know, I was never told and I really don't know what I did. I was mining in the nether and was getting lucky finding some netherite, honestly never found so much so fast, only a few pieces though, but I think server must have thought I was cheating or something and jailed me for it. That's the only conclusion I can draw. I voted for the server and I've been really friendly with the community this whole time. All I wanted to do was stick to myself and build. I've attached a screenshot of my inventory, literally only 4 pieces of netherite.
I've seen those birch blocks by the trading booths, you can't fool me. I want more variety than the ol' oak and stone blocks in the villager trading hall so that I can have more pallet-appropriate lettering for my base.
