Lol, can you hack blockland?
ANT:
Dunno what happened in my server but idc really care about it but since this topic exists, I think it wouldn't hurt writing about it.
So, I was in my server with Negative, passworded server, just me and Negative. Then suddenly our datablocks were changed to the pig playertype and I saw in the chat "Fungusamongus: HAHA I'm HACKING *****ES".
We were kind of confused but since just suiciding fixed the harm, I didnt care much about it.
There are no events to do such a thing to all the players in the server so events have nothing to do with this.
I just think that "hackers" are pathetic people with no life and nothing else to do but ruining others' game.
I'm not gonna be active on this topic so have fun fighting about my post.

Aimbots in Blockland barely even work since the bullet are so slow, they're not even worth counting.

Here's the major difference:
Networking structure.
These company-run games are expecting high population, thus they need most of the networking and calculations to be run through the client. Otherwise, it would be a huge strain on the server. This allows for clients to play around with these functions, such as telling other clients "yeah i just hit you for 9999 damage it's legit die plz".
Blockland is different. Players run their own small little servers from their home computers. Badspot doesn't need to handle any of it aside from authentication and the server listing. This has minimal strain on the master server, and allows for an effective anti-hack, due to the servers processing everything. The only downfall of this is not having anything global aside from IDs and names. There is no global level-ups, achievements, or currency due to everyone having their own little server with their own little games. If there were level-ups, achievements, or currency, anyone hosting a server would be able to mess with it immediately.
The only way to hack an online Blockland server would be to hack into the computer the server is running on. And I'm sure you could do much more harmful things than mess with their internet Legos. You're going to get in trouble for breaking in in the first place.

I remember hearing something about an exploit that allows people to silently connect and chat.
Either that, or he's distributed an add-on with some malicious code in it that sends fake chat messages and all the other things people are claiming Fungus does
