[1.23] Quantum Suit 3 high blocks = Speedhax!

Kane Hart · Oct 28th 2011

Small bug mainly blamed to Notch in fact all Notch but with the Quantum suits it's pretty much broken to hell. You can do the hop 3 high down a cave for example and move so fast that you can run past the chunk loading throttle and also do a lot of damage to servers causing massive amounts of chunks to be forced loaded and known to cause memory leaks from it. Really abusive exploit for large servers.

It is a vanilla bug like I said enhanced 10 fold with the suit. Not sure if it's worth the time investigating or not.

And, what exactly is the bug again?
If you did discribe it already, it got probably lost in bad grammar ^^'

Build a 3 high ceiling or platform or anything that is 3 high. Then go quantum speed and bounce between the floor and the 3 high ceiling and you will actually start going to warp!

And then the server drops you for moving too fast, and you cry.

Yeah Bukkit has a bit more performance enhancements there lol. I mean I could force a limit but man its pretty epic devastating

Ah, the speedtunneling bug. Yes it's an issue related to the fact people wanted to have sped-up jumps
Guess i've gotta rework the code there.

Damn forums don't have a like button so.

I don't really consider this a game breaking bug, maybe only the moved too fast. I just love that you can cover wide distances with this, you still need to dig the tunnels before going at lightspeed, so I see it as a kind of Tier2 minecart^^

There will be more appropriate industrial travel options in the future, next to the ueber expensive (will be reworked in that way) QS and the buggy Teleporters...

any hints? rail/air/terrain travel?

Alblaka · Oct 30th 2011

Yes. Depends.

hehe. Air travel will come in overtime that done at a quantum speed or less would cause not to many chunk issues. I guess a rail system at quantum speed would also work. One thing I would love to see is more client side speed boats... Why I said client? Well as far as I can tell the whole damn boat system is 100% server side. You tell the server where you want to go and it sends it back. Really really crappy in SMP not sure what SSP like.

I would love just to see Minecarts at speeds as the suits with a few cool options. Pretty simple too but I guess will have to wait what's in store.

But please please please if you don't have enough SMP testers pick a couple out because I feel SMP gets over looked to much during testing.
