Is it possible to steal someone else's Gold, Diamonds etc if you go into their game?





Whats better for combat, Gold or Iron?

You can steal it, but you can't take it with you into another world.

Iron.

Yeah, if you join someone else's game, you can go mining, and steal diamond ore, and take form their chests if you want. But yes, like UpUp said, anything you take or do in your firends world will stay there

What happens to items in your own inventory. Lets say a griefer takes a stack of diamond and leaves it in his inventory and then quits and never ever comes back. Is it possible to get the diamond stack back?

No. On the bright side, though, he wouldn't have it either if his purpose was trying to take the items over into a world of his own. Unlike Terraria, where a player keeps their inventory across different worlds, players in Minecraft start with clean inventories (other than a map) when they enter a world for the first time and re-enter a world with only the inventory they had upon exiting that particular world. The only time his inventory upon leaving your world would come back is if he re-entered your world at some point down the road.

So, the bottomline is that "stealing" stuff out of a world really has no benefit to the thief... It's really just another form of annoying griefing. The people I play with have a policy... we unload everything out of our inventories into a chest whenever we leave a world... and we leave other people's chests alone if the person is not there to say whether or not we can "borrow" or use anything.

UpUp_Away95 thanks for the excellent reply. I am hearing more and more about this Terraria thing, will check it out as well.

I must say when I play online with my brother I get him to put everything back into a chest just for him. However his hotbar items and armour he does not put in the chest.

Meh, Terraria is ok. It's 2D though.

The griefing exploit that UpUp mentioned has bugged me in the past. When someone that joined your world has items in their inventory, you can't get to them until they unload it themselves. It's your world. There should be an option to force dump everyone's inventories when they leave your world. Or maybe spawn a chest with all the items they had when they leave, I don't know; something. One time, I couldn't find a whole bunch of gold that I knew I still had. My friend had it on him and I couldn't get it until he joined back up.
