Maybe there are peeps which got the .mod file u can get it by not downloading in mcpepatch Obviously

At least lesser people will use it >.< And i hope they would only use it for themselves as in their own worlds and not for servers(Unless everyone in the server agrees that it is allowed )




Not everyone knows what to edit since it requires the person to at least know how to open up a decrypted minecraftpe binary into IDA pro or otool or whatever that i forgot :|

Keep it. I hope there are GUI commands in 0.7.0 servers to ban them griefers, just back up teh world before hosting. xD

I know the one of the most destructive ways of griefing, the criminal uses this mod with snowball grenades, crafts them, and a bow with some arrows. He walks, charges bow, then switches to snowballs and griefs the hell out of the world, throwing 7 snowballs a second. His side effects include killing himself, running out of ammo quickly, and lagging out though.

I never noticed a major problem when Android had free-craft before it was made for iOS. The major problems with griefing I noticed occurred after free-craft for iOS was mass-released on Youtube. Maybe the nextGen mods should add some "when it's safe to use this mod" capability so single-player users don't have to be influenced by server owners.

Possible "when is it safe" method:

Since the problem is with servers, and servers rely on activity on ports 19132-19135, and since nextGen mods rely on 3rd party programs, it could and might be safe to listen on those ports to determine whether certain mods made by authorized modders could be used. I don't mean to discourage others from making cool mods, just not mods that could potentially destroy multiplayer games.

A variation would be to monitor a function used often in multiplayer communication such Packet() or RakNet functions and see if activity from them is on-going, thus disabling harmful mods until activity halts for a brief period of time.




I know c0deh4cker has done something similar in-a-way with an exclusive mod test that monitored "farmland::isSteppedOn()" (or something like that) and displayed an alert when you jump on farmland. A modified version of that to monitor multiplayer functions with a timer slapped into it might work.

Only 10 people know the exact reason he why quit, and only 10 people will ever know.
But he didn't quit for good, he's reading this and everything else we type/post when we least expect it, so watch out! (Also, hi Intyre!)


I don't mean to be harsh, but I think a client-side solution is more feasible than a server side solution. Doing it server-side would require cooperation with Mojang regarding development of their code, something they are not known to do. Second, it's modders that caused the issue, and it's modders that should fix it, not the rest of the community. Other safe-gaurds would be nice though.
