I thought it might be useful to describe some of the most common hacks that I have seen being used on some Game Modes. I hope you find this useful and are able to better identify hacks to record and report - or report to a staff member.
Aimbot - Head Movement
What it is:
Aimbot is a hack that allows a player to track another players movements. This is generally used is ranged fights, but can still be used in close combat.
How to spot it:
When moving around a player, watch their head to see if it instantly snaps to looking at you or a nearby player. A normal player would quickly, but gradually turn their head to face another.
Auto Armour - Combat
What it is:
Auto Armour instantly equips a player to be wearing the best armour. Some just do armour type (Leather, Chain, Iron, Diamond) and others take into account enchantments and other damage protection.
How to spot it:
This is clear when a player equips multiple armour pieces at a time, but beware as players can change armour quickly, or when they are moving.
Anti Fall - Movement
What it is:
Anti Fall prevents a player from falling off of a block. This is most commonly used after a player has been hit into the void, but can still be used to prevent high falls.
How to spot it:
When using this hack, a player will rubber band back to a spot where they are not falling. This is also clear when a player has the block they are stadning on removed as they will look like they are either standing still in mid-air, or keep teleporting to the same spot.
Anti Knockback - Combat
What it is:
This hack makes it so that a player will take no knockback from PvP, entities (eg snowballs) or blocks (tnt). This is mainly used in close combat, or on a thin bridge over the void.
How to spot it:
Quite simply, the player won't take any knockback. This hack is easily confused with lag, so be sure to check their ping, or if their hits are delayed when attacking you or another player.
Bed Nuker - Building
What it is:
This hack directly attacks your bed in BedWars. It can bypass any blocks that are defending the bed.
How to spot it:
The player will be able to destroy a team's bed in BedWars without removing any of the defending blocks. This is a quick process so if you are going to record, make sure you get them just before they start to break the bed.
Bunny Hop (BHop) - Movement
What it is:
Bunny Hop allows a player to jump in any direction at sprinting speed. Normally, you would be able to jump sideways and backwards at walking speed.
How to spot it:
A player will move quicker than usual in other directions, will be faster at strafing. This is commonly used with Kill Aura to allow the player to lock onto a target whilst quickly moving around them.
Chest Stealer - Inventory
What it is:
This hack allows a player to instantly remove every item in a chest upon opening it.
How to spot it:
A player will look into a chest, and straight out of it. You will see if they have taken an item or not as the timer will start to decrease above the test. Be sure to not confuse this with taking only one item out, although taking 1 item out takes longer than Chest Stealer.
Click Aura - Combat
What it is:
Click aura hits multiple entities at once.
How to spot it:
Commonly used when a user is grinding mobs and hitting multiple of them at once. This also works in PvP - Click Aura hits multiple players at once, the players must be in the hit range of the player, whether the player is using reach or not.
Derp - Head Movement
What it is:
Head twisting constantly, looking at every direction.
How to spot it:
This can easily be spotted due to the fact that you will see the player have a normal behavior when it comes to the placing of blocks, walking and/or fighting. The head will be constantly looking at different directions, just like killaura, but with no entities nearby.
Fast Fall - Movement
What it is:
This hack makes a player fall quicker than usual.
How to spot it:
A player will fall from a high place at speed, or into the void at high speed. This is most common when falling into the void to get a quicker respawn.
Fly Hacks - Movement
What it is:
Fly hacks is pretty self explanatory. It gives the ability for players to fly as if they were in gamemode 1, or spectator.
How to spot it:
A player will fly around the map in survival mode, generally linked with Speed Fly, although this can be very glitchy.
Fast Regen - Health
What it is:
This hack will decrease the time it takes for a user's health to regen in, or out of combat.
How to spot it:
The player will take less damage, or will heal very quickly. - Do not get this confused if they use a gapple or regen / health potions.
Forcefield - Combat
What it is:
This hack makes the user attack any player within reaching distance - regardless if they are looking at you or not.
How to spot it:
This is easily identifiable if a player is attacking you when you are moving towards them from the side or behind. If they head snap at you, it is Aimbot / Killaura, if they do not head snap, it is Forcefield.
Invisibility - Health
What it is:
This will make a player not able to take damage at all. No other players will be able to hit this player.
How to spot it:
It looks very similar to if you were trying to hit someone when they are creative mode, you will not be able to hit them at all.
KillAura - Combat
What it is:
This hack is similar to Aimbot. Attacks the target automatically whilst their head track the target.
How to spot it:
Easily identifiable when a player is coming to attack from a direction that the player won't see them coming from, or when fighting multiple targets. The head will snap between the targets and will automatically attack them.
No Swing - Movement
What it is:
This hack makes it so that when a player is placing, breaking or attacking, their hand will not swing as if they were. It will still move when walking, but not when any of those actions are taking place.
How to spot it:
Other than walking/sprinting, their arm will not move to signify they are placing/breaking/attacking. This is commonly used to disguise what they are doing.
No Slowdown - Movement
What it is:
This hack will make it so that the player is not slowed down by attacks, blocks and/or slow-down potions.
How to spot it:
When a player is hit by a projectile, fishing rod, a potion, or a player, they will not stop sprinting like they should. They will also be able to sprint through cobwebs / soulsand.
Printer - Building
What it is:
This hack allows a user to 'print' a schematic. This can be used to build a wall, or a structure that might be useful to the player.
How to spot it:
A block will be placed when the player is not looking at it. This effectively means the player can walk around whilst a construction forms around them.
Reach - Combat
What it is:
This hack allows a player to reach further than you normally can to attack.
How to spot it:
This is most easily identifiable when you reach hit them, but they reach hit you. Note that this is normal when being combo-ed as you can reach further when looking up, than looking down.
Safe Walk - Movement
What it is:
This hack prevents a player from walking off of a block.
How to spot it:
Most commonly used for building bridges, this hack can be identified if a player is walking/running and suddenly stops at the edge of a block without sneaking. Can be seen when a player is building whilst sprinting, without shifting - similar to Scaffold.
Scaffold - Building
What it is:
This hack helps the user build blocks under them without even looking at them.
How to spot it:
This can be easily identified by the way the player is bridging, the player will most likely holding a different item (eg weapon or tool) then the one they are currently placing. The player can either be head snapping under them to place on the bridge or looking in any other direction and still place blocks.
Sneak - Movement
What it is:
This hack allows a player to be sneaking, whilst moving at normal walking / sprinting speed.
How to spot it:
This hack is really obvious, as they will be walking quickly whilst sneaking.
Speed - Movement
What it is:
This hack allows a player to be sneaking, whilst moving at normal walking / sprinting speed.
How to spot it:
Can be very glitchy, and look like a player is moving very quickly, then rubber banding back to one spot as the anti-cheat does it's thing. Easily identifiable by the way the player moves, the legs will not separate as they should while running.
Spider - Movement
What it is:
This hack allows a player to climb up blocks rather than jumping.
How to spot it:
This is easiest described as if the player is climbing a ladder that is placed on the block, without there being one.
Step - Movement
What it is:
This hack allows a player to walk up 1 block high jumps.
How to spot it:
Easiest identified when a player doesn't jump up a 1 block height, but rather walks up it at a walking/sprinting speed.
I hope you found this document useful, I'd be grateful if you left any edit suggestions that you think would benefit others, or just some general comments about the hacks listed. Best Wishes and have fun!
