Nope, he isn't. There has been only one hack discovered for this game and it has nothing to do with server hosting,

Some noob said he would hack my server and crash it or something just because I wouldn't give him admin. I banned him. Happy ending.

My dad says Port Forewarding is dangerous because it is easily hacked.  This is true for most war games.  However, does it allow any external access of Blockland?

No. It is not dangerous.

I don't know how to say this without being rude, so I'm just going to be rude.  Your dad shovels coal for a living and I am a goddamn professional computer programmer.  I know more about this subject than your dad.  Port forwarding, if done correctly, is completely safe.


The only thing that I think could happen would be that someone would host a server and whale IP's in which they would DDOS...but who would do that?

The only "hacking" there is happens when a host enables a malicious or easily abused add-on. If someone knows what they are doing, they can potentially use this to do harm to your server.

DDOS != Hacking

Nothing inside of computer or local network though.

It depends on what stupid add-on you've enabled.

A long time ago, there was an add-on called TBM (The Better Mod), it was a mod similar to TDM + Brick Packs, but it also allowed certain users to take control of your server and plant files in your computer. All of the people associated with TBM were permanently banned.

You are correct indeed, but your computer/internet cannot be harmed or abused any other why through Blockland, so I just threw it out there.

Someone messaged me saying OMG SOMEONE GOT HACKED. The guy claimed it was the same guy you were talking about. He then kept saying how he is going to hack me next and delete all my add-ons. It turns out the guy that was messaging me had a name history of heedicallking.

not a freaking chance
You really dont know, you're just saying this because everyone is saying it's impossible.
Am I right?
