A bit of history: The Forge Team (mainly the creator, LexManos) historically hated what they call Core Mods, which are mods that manipulate the game code instead of using the existing frameworks. It's for a good reason, since if nobody manipulated the game code, then mods would be *much* more compatible. Crashes caused by such manipulations are also much harder to track. Originally, ASM was used raw by mods to manipulate classes. Then, Lex came with the *brilliant* idea to force people to use JavaScript instead. So you have the same code that would be using ASM in Java but with JavaScript. Then Mixins came, which abstract away ASM. They are actually pretty old-ish (older than fabric), and required quite an annoying setup on forge. On some versions (Mostly the 1.13 rewrite era, so 1.13-1.15 iirc) you also needed an extra mod so it works in an non-dev environment. I remember since I had to fix a misaligned bracket in a forge patch in order for my mod to work. It was patched half a year after I reported it. Mixins are better than raw ASM, since they provide much more debug information on crashes and have much greater compatibility. Then Fabric came, which uses mixins as an integral part, since Fabric by itself is just a loader, and anything advanced requires patches to the game. Whereas forge does it in a standardized way with a framework of a lot of features which increases compatibility, Fabric just kinda says "I loaded your mod, now do what you can for it to not crash". There is also the Fabric API, which includes basic Mixins to help with basic stuff so that basic mods do not conflict with each other, as well as many other library mods which include stuff that forge includes by default. Currently, in 1.16.5, Mixins are adopted by forge and much easier to install and use.

My first deep dive into computers and programming was through Minecraft modding back in the 1.2.5 era. I was in 7th grade at the time, but I heard that this game was moddable. Looking into modding tutorials got me learning about programming, and that led me to pursue computer science at university, and actually be good at it. Never underestimate how curiosity leads to learning.

Seeing you try to figure out how code works from annotations, I wanted to scream "SCROLL UP!" Javadoc comments are generally speaking some of the most useful documentation in all of software, due to the fact that they can be generated into documentation directly. 90% of the time, you'll get a clear explanation of what any given class, interface, annotation, etc is doing just by reading the comments, and the format includes features like linking to other classes and methods. Also IntelliJ: Ctrl-B jumps into the highlighted symbol, Find Usages is an amazing feature to see real examples of how something works, and Shift-F6 is global rename. All amazing tools for Java reverse engineering.

Something you might find interesting is modifying the "gamma" setting in options.txt. you can basically enable fullbright from a text file!

[@xdjiijii6543]

In jetbrains IDEs there two options, go to definition and go to implementation. Ctrl click on class goes to definition. Right click and go to implementation is going to show you actual code and if it’s not available straight away it’s going to try to decompile it

[@maluch792]

damn good to know

[@yamakaja1252]

The Java Agent mechanism actually provides a way for classes to be "retransformed" at runtime, so while it may not be the case for Mixins, it's certainly possible to "rewrite code in memory". See java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation

[@Johannes_Kuhn]

Java Agents could be really interesting for you. A java agent can be added to any java process, either by adding a flag to the command line (-javaagent:path/to/myagent.jar) or even attaching it at runtime. There are some benefits to using agents over transforming classloaders: * Signed Jars (such as Minecraft) will still work - as the signature is checked when the byte[] are passed to ClassLoader.defineClass - and agents modify the bytecode after that. * It is provided by Java itself - and works on everything that is written in Java. Generally, it's a lot of fun for me to write agents that do something useful.

[@aidan7913]

You can also use jvmti to modify classes if java agents are blocked.

[@MacroEnabled]

I believe very strongly that the success of the MC modding scene is because the game was written in Java

[@sulfenir2477]

A language where the source code doesn't need to be compiled first would have surely created a better environment. Creating core mods and modding frameworks like forge would be easier because there wouldn't be a need to manually write patches for the imperfect java decompilation. In addition to that, injection mechanisms like sponge's mixins would only need to operate on a textual level which would obviously be way easier than messing with bytecode. Lastly java just isn't in everyones skillset. Several of my friends would love to get into minecraft modding but having to learn java first is proving to be a barrier of entry. A language like python that almost everyone knows, that can be picked up in a minimal amount of time and that doesn't use compilation in distribution would have contributed more to the success of minecraft modding.

[@MacroEnabled]

@@sulfenir2477 Ah, I agree with you, but games are never written in scripting languages due to performance. When I wrote that I was thinking "written in Java rather than C/C++" like most other games

If you happen to want to discuss things with someone in the hacking scene specifically, feel free to send me a message. I've been developing hacks for Minecraft for most of its life, including releasing a client for public use. I'm happy to remain unnamed if you talk about what we discuss in videos.

[@hallowkrubics8718]

[@Gildfesh]

@@hallowkrubics8718 Nothing published publicly on my Git. I have released old source in the past on the website the client was available on. I will see about uploading the files somewhere easily accessible if people really want to see the inner workings of an older client. I just don't want to accidentally use this channel as a way to advertise because obviously this is a grey area.

[@mattcoley]

Can confirm, Gild has been in the scene for quite some time. Flare, Team Doot, RodentLL, even a dead alpha meme client. Man's got experience.

[@DefineOutside]

Optifine fastmath can be considered a cheat. It changes movement by 0.001 blocks/tick or so and causes 0.003 or so extra blocks of reach, occasionally - while declaring itself as vanilla. Whether this is actually cheating is interesting. It doesn't give an advantage as these extra movement/reach cancel out as fastmath simply rounds stuff, and rounds up and down for an advantage and disadvantage, the user doesn't intend to break vanilla behavior, but servers can detect that the player isn't following vanilla movement and can ban players who didn't even intend to cheat. Even stuff like lunar client, a popular 1.8 pvp client, can be considered a cheat due to adding bugs with blocking, allowing people to block with a sword 50% faster than what is usually possible. People use the client because it feels better in combat. A minor part of this smoothness being an unfair advantage. Is this a cheat?

[@dolphin2.0.]

Personally I feel like making something 50% faster is a much much bigger deal than increasing hits by 0.003 blocks. The 0.003 blocks is a very hard to hit window considering the size of 0.003 blocks and the precise angle required to hit it. 50% extra time to deactivate your block is a much bigger deal.

[@DefineOutside]

@@dolphin2.0. yeah, optifine generally isn’t considered cheating and neither is lunar. Lunar won’t patch it because anti cheats don’t flag it, and anti cheats don’t flag it since lunar won’t patch it. There’s a reason why Mineplex just entirely blocked Lunar once. It’s the second time they’ve coded an unfair advantage into their client. First time was removing the penalty for missing an attack giving their users better hitreg. It’s an interesting situation. The current solution is to cancel the unfair blocking to give lunar users a disadvantage, as their blocking simply won’t be seen by the server. It works but it’s not ideal.

[@kmatias2467]

It really depends on what you think is an unfair advantage. IMO fastmath is not cheating as it rounds the same amount down in some angles as it rounds up in others so it will be a disadvantage in 50% of cases. It is only considered a cheat because anticheats flag it easily and ban for it, if anticheats wouldn't flag it that easily it would probably not be considered cheating.

[@Ginto_O]

That reminds me of the time i've played Dota 2 with a mod that replace trees with pumpkins. Technically it's only a graphical mod that should give no advantages but tree are different in sizes and opacity and pumpkins are all roughly the same form and with no opacity so its a) easier to click on tree, b) easier to see spaces between trees where you can walk

[@31redorange08]

A wall hack is also just a graphical mod.

[@adon155]

One thing to point out with mixins is they are (with my limited mod dev knowledge) the last resort because they tend to break mod compatibility. ex if u wanted to add an item instead of using a mixin you would probably want to use something like the fabric api (take thsi with a grain of salt this is from abt 5 days experience developing mods)

[@mikoajkoek3145]

If you don't use mixin overwrites (which aren't required often), then I don't think mixins usually create any problems with inter mod compatibility. Many mods can inject mixins into the same classes and methods as long as they're not overwrites

[@tudbut]

As an experienced mod developer who also writes cheats, i can confirm that mixins cause 90% of incompatibilities.

[@kmatias2467]

They do cause incompatibilities but you can write them in different ways that help with not causing any.

5:03 Stone crafting table 🤑🤙

[@sevret313]

I will say cheating involves bypassing parts of the game through unintended means. Optifine's torch isn't bypassing anything. Having building helpers aren't bypassing anything either as the alternatives would just be watching drawings on another screen or something. X-ray do bypass part of the game by letting you have access to more rare ores than you're supposed to. If minecraft wanted there to be no stones in caves, they could have just have disabled that in the world generation. But dynamic torches and building guides are more complicated features that would require development time.

[@overpricedjpegs3140]

Optifine dynamic lights are bypassing Minecraft light. If Minecraft wanted to keep the screen bright, it could have just disabled light and have full bright. Optifine dynamic lights are giving an unfair advantage to the user by showing brightness where it shouldn't be done, where you should actually have to place light sources. Imagine an underwater scenario, you cannot place torch underwater, but you can hold a torch in your hand an explore underwater structures. It is all based on just your view in what "bypassing" is.

[@sevret313]

@@overpricedjpegs3140 It's a minor advantage in my view. The existance of a brightness setting is also Mojang acknowledging people's need to adjust brightness and lightsources affets mob spawning, holding a torch in hand does not. And you can get a much greater effect with just night vision potion, though it require some resources. Compare that to x-ray where there is no intended way to even get close to that effect.

To me, cheating is when you gain a competitive advantage other players don't have. If you are on a building contest and you use the placing mod, it's cheating. If you are on singleplayer and you use xray, to me it is not cheating.

[@mycotina6438]

I'm software engineer and my main language is java. I'm so glad that this series is heavily in Java, because it feels like taking a very natural leap from my day to day work into a more exciting universe.

[@uolamer]

The building mod, litematica, can basically be used as a xray mod by making a wireframe of just air, placing it where you are mining and using verify to show the wrong blocks that are say diamonds. As far as cheating, it ruins the game. Where people draw that line differs as you said.

[@hikingpete]

One of my favourite examples of a "cheat" comes from the N64 game Goldeneye 007. 007 doesn't have crosshairs in game, nor anything similar, making it difficult to line up a shot. Speedrunners have been using sharpies and tape to add a crosshair on their TV itself, and I've even seen monitors with crosshairs overlays.

[@theRPGmaster]

My monitor has crosshair overlays, granted, they aren't very good.

[@NameGoesHere285]

I love the story about how for the first ~5 years of the game coming out that WASN'T a known strategy for a lot of the speedrunners, and it's thanks to a 55 year old speedrunner called John Kaleta (RIP) who just decided to share his own (kinda gross) way of making a crosshair that they found out, other speedrunners who were doing it just sorta assumed it was known lol

[@labrosmatsas]

I love game glitches and I always try to discover more of them. The ender pearl glitch is not considered cheating ( if glitches are not considered to be cheating) because you don't have infinite of them and needs some precision to be used. The packet manipulation can be used everywhere so that's why it is cheating. For every cheat there is a similar glitch. The big difference is that glitches usually require you to spend in-game resources but normal cheats not.

[@pitust]

I would point out optifine is doing a *lot* more than just some rendering stuff - it changes quite a lot of game logic too afaik (which is why it is banned in speedruns)

[@YOEL_44]

Oh, so it was just a weirdness of Optifine... By the way, I consider, everything you can do with simple knowledge of the game to be exploits, and features that need external tools to be hacks, for me cheats just don't really exist in Minecraft itself, it's speedrunning or specific server rules that define what is cheating on that context. If you where into GTA modding you would use ScriptHook instead of Mixin, it's the same core idea.

[@sircalvin]

same. ingame = exploit, external = hacking, which inst always bad

[@m4rt_]

A explanation ive heard of what mixins is, is that it is juct copying your code into existing code (ctrl+c, ctrl+v) without needing to modify it yourself and since minecraft mods aren't suposed to include minecraft code, people use mixins, its kinda like a diff file.

[@triularity]

When you came across the redstone, I had a thought.. what if they added a new power source material, but it's "voltage" was too high. So if you tied to use it directly with normal redstone or circuits, it would overload and fry them. It would need some kind of level shifter to interact, like when mixing 5v and 3.3v devices. =)

[@ThePassiton]

This series brings back memories of spending days on end when i was like 14 to write the shittiest minecraft hacks imaginable and so much code i didn't quite understand :D back then i don't think fabric etc even excisted or if they did i didn't know about them and hard modded the minecraft jar file. Those were the days :D

[@itskdog]

Fabric is really only from the last few years or so. It's more powerful because it's just mixins, but compatibility on Forge is much more likely as there's the underlying framework that all mods interact with, allowing for really complex modpacks.

[@sulfenir2477]

I actually saw your comment on the video about asm and bytecode a while ago. Such an interesting technology.

[@simonconrad4402]

[@davidwestern3878]

"I guess there was a firewall deployed" - this joke has no right to being this funny

[@m4rt_]

My opinion on what the differences are: Glitch - a quirk in the game that may give a small advantage, but not a lot. Also, glitches tend to stay in the game for a while, either because the devs decide it's a cool mechanic, they don't feel it's worth prioritizing, or some other reason. (the torch/slab thing that breaks sand was/is a glitch) Exploit - intentionally breaking the game to gain an advantage, etc. Cheating - intentionally tampering with the game to gain an advantage, this may include tricking the server, making exploits easier perform, etc. This often involves modifying the game by making a mod, or decompiling and recompiling the actual game. Then there are different kinds of cheating: Good Cheating - cheating in a private server/world, or on a server that allows cheating. When it is allowed, or doesn't affect anyone else, I don't consider it bad cheating. (This includes utility mods like OptiFine that are allowed on most servers, even though it might give a slight advantage in some situations) Bad Cheating - cheating when you aren't supposed/allowed to cheat, and thus gaining an unfair advantage. Additionally: Hacking - modifying the game yourself, in my opinion most cheating is using a pre-made "utility" mod (people have begun calling cheat clients utility mods in recent years), while hacking is going in and doing the dirty work. Also, this can all change depending on who is in charge of the rules where you are playing. In your own world/server, it's your own opinions on the matter that is the deciding factor. On other peoples servers, it's the server owner who has the final say on what is cheating, exploiting, glitching, etc.

There are instances where I've cheated stuff into the game, and those are when I've lost progress or items in modded plays of the gam. As a rule of thumb, I do enable cheats in Modpacks because the stability of the pack can't be guaranteed and therefore progress may be lost and I need to cheat in some items, or something might corrupt and I can't fix it out of the game with backups

[@peacefulexistence_]

Yep, can confirm

[@hacklordmonster8780]

There was a huge debate in hypixel wheter or not to ban a mod called perspective mod. basically all it does is it lets you look around you like in third person, but without moving your head, alowing you to for example look around while safely running on a bridge or look at your opponent while building up. a lot of people said its cheating and should be banned but i dont think its any different than the optifine zoom for example, why is that not cheating? the perspective mod was also pretty popular and a lot of big youtubers used it. what do you think?

[@PyPylia]

For future reference, or if you're playing in the future, I'd recommend straying away from OptiFine. The developer isn't too greatly liked by the community, and there are just better mods anyway. Sodium is an optimization mod (for fabric) that implements far more optimizations and works far better, this can be combined with Iris to add OptiFine-compatible shaders, Indium for some internal API stuff, and LambDynamicLights for the dynamic lighting (torches emitting light while in your hand) that you love. Other features can be moved over using more mods (such as Ok Zoomer for zooming, FerriteCore for memory optimization, Starlight for lighting optimization, etc...).

One main issue i, as a modder, have, is that many people set all of their mixins to be highest priority possible, meaning even small changes, that wont break anything if they are left out, will be prioritized over important changes that will literally crash the game if they're not applied. It is essentially pure luck and down to file name capitalization of the mods if the game will actually start with them applied. I've actually started making some of my mods attach a java agent to themselves to forcefully accept the gamebreaking mixins

when the question comes up: "tell me what are you doing, where is the code" , the codewriter followed a paradigm that makes no sense at all. Its often called SOLID. They get taught that shit so often and they apply it everywhere obfuscating the flow of the programm.

O god, i knew about reflection, but creating classes on runtime via ASM: IT... IS... INSANE

You can use jsmacros mod, it's a very cool mod, you can do a lot of stuff with it, there are also extensions for ruby, lua, python 2 and python 3 (there isn't java, but of course there is javascript)

An interesting example about cheating ethic could be made for the game "Fallout Shelter" where every save files was on the client side and so people , and still today do it, would use an editor to decrypt and modify the values on the save file to give them self loot boxes and in-game coins. However this would void the developer of income opportunities. Some people argue that is all fine and dandy because the game is old and there are no update anymore and given the fact is a single player game, you don't disrupt anyone game-play.

i mostly have no idea what's going on when he is talking about coding things but the video is still really enjoyable

Can CVE-2022-21449 be used with Minecraft?

[@MrSerek]

About using glitches - it depends. Most people I know would say the enderpearl-rood is so old you can count it as a feature. Flying with scaffoldings too. I honestly don't think bug abusing is so bad in minecraft compared to other games.

Most underrated title every

re: what is cheating imho, cheating is only what you and the people you're playing with decide is cheating, whatever the "intended vision" of the game is doesn't matter, what matters is what you wanna do, and what the people you're playing with wanna do

In ruby there is the term mixin. Instead of inheritance to add functionality to a class you add mixins.

[@Lampe2020]

Those "@Mixin"s look like Python3 decorators, maybe they also work similarly?

[@crafterboy27]

Telporting through a wall on purpose by exploiting a glitch well is exploiting/cheating. Modding is usually either changing code to do what you want or automating a glitch. I personally consider something cheating if it allows you to have an advantage. I also believe that learning to make cheats for games which I do all the time so I can learn some concepts in coding like maybe pathfinding or smth like that

mixings it's a very common thing in web developing for example in django and rails framework

When I play minecraft, I play vanilla for a while. But after the 500th time mining for yet more iron ore, it gets old and grindy. At that point I will just spawn it in, since I no longer get any fun from mining it.
