EXPLOITATION IN NOOBSTOWN

In light of recent events, I am writing this topic to explain about RULE 7: NO EXPLOITING

This rule means that you are not allowed to find/use an exploit in the Noobstown plugins and use it, This rule also means that if you find and exploit and do not report it straight away, you run the risk of being banned, and losing ALL of your money or items that were exploited.

This rule does not just mean that you can't exploit the Shop plugin, it also means that you cannot use a Minecraft glitch to duplicate or clone items etc.

People who have recently exploited have had their exploited money taken away from them, and anyone who does this in the future will face the same consequences.

If you find an exploit, straight away report it to Me, or any other Administrators, and you will be greatly appreciated for it, otherwise there will be consequences.

So, would this mean that we can't collect bones, convert the bones to bonemeal, and sell them for a better price? Would this also have anything to do with the bugged mcmmo and the ability to attain better drops when digging with gigadrill? Because my intent was just to get enough money to get myself a town, and if that was not allowed, then... yea. I'm just a little confused over what "exploiting the shop plugin" means. Could you... elaborate more?

There have been a ton of people, including VIPs (not going to mention any names) and other prominent members in Noobstown, that have used for example, the bugged unlim giga drill (or any other mcmmo ability for that matter) to lvl up their stats and get things like diamond quicker... stuff like that. If this falls into the grounds of exploitation, I have used this to get things like diamonds and other stuff. But, anyhow, other than me confessing to potential "exploitation," could you, elaborate more. Maybe provide examples of past instances of exploiting.

This topic has nothing to do with griefs, exploiting is totally different. Exploiting is when you find a glitch and you take advantage of it to gain something that shouldn't be possible, or something that isn't fair. If you find a glitch with anything in Noobstown then you should report it immediately to a member of staff.

You should make a topic in the "Support" section of the forums so then a part of the staff team can get back to you and answer your question.

The powers of the McMMO plugin power-ups, for example the Giga Drill Breaker, that is most likely not classed as an exploit because that's what the plugin was made to do.

Collecting bones, converting them into bonemeal and then selling them is just a method to get money I suppose, I don't see how it could be titled as an exploit.- Waterworth corrected this subject :)

One of the know glitches in the shop plugin is when you sold a sticky piston, it stayed in your inventory, allowing you to sell it over and over again to gain as much money as you want.

It means exactly that, normally in the prices bonemeal will be the same price as bones, so you cannot make profit. An example of an exploit would be something like, buying 2 sticks and a diamond for 500 Nbx and selling it for like 1000 Nbz. (This is a made up example and this has never happened on the, not to my knowledge).


That is exploiting, and if you do not report something like this you run the risk on being banned or losing your money or items etc.

Is converting 9 diamonds to diamond block and selling the diamond block exploiting?

LoL, i was meaning using giga drill when mcmmo was bugged - when it was bugged, you could have unlimited giga drill. (that being said, I did report it to lick/Ineed i think.

Well doesn't that answer for itself? If you use a bug to gain the power you shouldn't then yes, that is exploiting.

Does buying ore and coal, smelting it, then selling the ingots for double count? Because if so... sorry.

Lets make this simple to understand. If its part of the game e.g. smelting items to make more money, changing items to something else to make money then yes that is allowed. Things that are bugs though the plugins or the game are not allowed e.g. Obsidian generator's and Item duplication bugs.

Obsidian generator's are not a bug, Just saying.
