The Black Markets of Hypixel Skyblock
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 06. 2024
- Beneath the surface of skyblock lies a deep, dark underworld of illegal trading, an organised affair that is likely worth well over a million dollars, just over virtual coins. How does this whole thing operate, and what can be done to stop it?

I would totally report any duper / macroer / hacker if I am promised a (non tradable) booster cookie. Especially at current prices. If I was in early / mid-game, I would definitely keep my eye out for reports for that juicy 4m free cookie.
In conjunction to this, they should honestly bring back helper roles. They currently don’t have the manpower and responsiveness to deal with and ban these players until its too late.
hey i think anyone would do it at that point, plus the irl traders and macroer population would plummet
Hypixel is a company,they would never do such a thing, giving something that you need to pay irl money to them for free, is never happening, never heard of someone who got ranks for free from the server
Helpers didnt have ban perms
@@5beve68 If they added a helper role that had limited moderation access like temp ban (but not wiping the account’s progress) and kicking, these helpers would probably be able to get the job done until the admins can perma ban / stop these dupes.
To put it into perspective, if you saw a dupe happening, you could probably contact a helper that is online through discord for which then they can act accordingly. Right now, there’s no proper way to contact admins directly which means that even if you saw a dupe happening live and reported it, they probably won’t see the report in time (or even be archived since there’s no real report system for duping other than the one on the forums which hardly anyone uses).
As for who to give these roles out to and how, hypixel will probably have to figure that out.
thats not really a bad idea
but the price of cookie will die
It's like breaking bad but for SkyBlock coins

WANNA DUPE SOME COINS JESSIE???
Why is this so.. unpopular of a comment?
@@mr.potatoman2409gotta get the methane for the cooking of the coins ya know lol

even tho I quit sb years ago, youre def one of my favorite creators still
glad to see guys are doing well
I stopped playing because I got bored before like 2 years. Decided to join today just to see what has changed, and it's SO MUCH different. New locations bigger islands so much things have changed.
@@_M_643 yeah im actually having fun now
I salute you for being able to quit
@G0D_OF_MC1337 I don't think I'm gonna start playing it for a while, but it's great to see that it's still progressing and developing.
@Austin Walter I mean, there's nothing wrong with people that play it also. There is no need for anything that you enjoy to be portrayed as a bad activity, waste of time, or 'no life'.
i havent played sb seriously since 2020 and HellCastle and Tyler still find away to make interesting sb/minecraft related content
i absolutely love this channel. the videos can take ages to come out that i'll watch it dont matter what
I completely agree
slay
As someone who has never played on skyblock or even hypixel and also rarely plays minecraft java, yes i agree.
Yeah this is the only stuff that kinda keeps me in the game
I’ve literally never even played the server or Java since like 2014. I totally agree with you.
My Skyblock profile was wiped when my coop member (he was an auction flipper and made tens of millions every day from that) IRL traded-much to my skepticism. I refrained from selling him out as I feared our coop would get collectively wiped, and I didn't kick him from my coop as he is my friend. Alas, everyone will eventually face the consequences of their shortcomings, and my friend was no different.
Always quality content when these two upload
true
u mean just hellcastle 💀
@@dimid_ ?
@@dimid_ hellcastle voices it, tylerrr makes script
funny enough, me (hellcastle) did nothing for this video, it was all tyler.
i was busy playing games lol
Me: sees another mini documentary by these two about deep stuff in a block game
*Hell yea I'm in*
sameeeee
I hope ur doing well with the earth quake, We all wish you the best
The Quality of this video is just something else.
Even though this is about a funny online rpg game you guys still cared enough and made this really really awesome and informative video! Never got boring, editing is pure perfection, music choice (love calamity music :] ) awesome! You guys really deserve more likes, views and subs. Keep up the good work! ❤
guys im glad you are back the iceberg video was amzing and this too just do more of this even it takes his time very very nice
I love your choices in background music. Great video! Frodo approves 👍
i'm glad frodo likes it
who's frodo
These documentary style videos are my favorite
It's kind of wild learning about all this. I've pretty much exclusively played Minecraft (Vanilla and modded) on either solo-worlds or small community servers. So I had no clue that there were legitimate servers out there with microtransactions.
9:56 they dont call it RATing to look cooler. its called RATing because RAT is a "Remote Access Trojan". so its an actual name.
Hi :), I know it's not related to the video but I decided to use your code when I bought VIP+, thanks for getting me into Skyblock!
god i love these videos something with your voice and the way you tell the story its crazy
Gotta love block game documentaries
The fact that the admins are locked behind an NDA in terms of discussing why they can't be arsed to actually deal with illegal activity inside their game is incredibly scummy.
There nay be more reasons to it idk
This game looks fun. Might try and get into the game, thanks a bunch!
2:52 love the calamity background music
based video as always
and happy to make a cameo appearance :p
:D
lol noob ex staff cant ban me anymore!!!!

Back when i played i got up to hyperion, the game got boring for me. As a teenager i needed money, so i cashed 200-300€ worth of coins. It was not worth it. I would like to get back to the game but not to go through the grind. But nice video keep making them
the dark auction music hits different in this video especially
I hope you are OK hellcastle, pretty bad earthquakes in Syria and turkey
The reason why the bots never end is you can buy them for like 5 cents each
Nice vid! I just learned that my old account with 400m nw got bought.
If I see anyone defending IRL trading by saying it "doesn't hurt anybody", I will direct them to this video. I hadn't made the connection until your video, but IRL-purchased coins are enjoyed at the expense of another player who lost everything to a ratter
if ur dumb enough to get ratted you deserve it
dupes hurt no one except hypickle
I've done that for like a year when it was new.
Coins were pretty expensive, my partner and me probably made 20-30k doing that.
We spent every making alts to use minions to farm coins, it was very time consuming but worth it at the time.
On late 2020 we stopped because
1- coins started to become useless
2- we got banned on almost every account
It was a good time, we never scammed anyone, we actually got scammed a few times
I had like 40 or 50 accounts with vip on hypixel (we bought the rank to have more islands xD)
Edit: I got my verified Paypal account suspended too :(
i respect the grind. sure its against the rules but selling legit coins is fine in my eyes
YAY A NEW VIDEO FROM TYLER AND HELLCASTLE WOHOHOO
I was banned for duping and this video related a lot since every single aspect of this video is true and is actually how it goes behind the curtains in 90 days my year long ban will be upp and I can be a normal player
ah yes duping the best money making method
hope you’re doing okay with the earthquakes, great cideo
People don't use F&F do avoid the 1% tax. They do it so the buyer can't apply for a refund.
Just use crypto, low fees no refund. Also there are methods to refunds f&f
“Anyone want to buy pickled toes?” 😛😋 Edit: This is actually getting a lot of traction and I might have to put pickled toes up on my auction house. Whoever buys them will have their name and a giant toe statue on my island dedicated to them.
Sure...
it is a joke if you already can't tell
Why do people like you exist?
No
I'll buy them from you with 2744 robux, 10m skyblock coins and 3£
Nah.
Can't help but notice the Calamity music again!
You mentioned at 5:19 needing content so hey, who knows?
You guys should make a video about the Skyblock lore.
Most irl trading servers only buy ratted or macroed coins and the cost of 1m is .12 with around a 50 m limit that you need to buy
Thanks for changing the thumbnail!
What was it before?
I think making perfect / flawless gems nonstackable is definitely a clever way of tackling duping: now they all have UUIDs (a unique number that only that gem has) and hypixel automatically deletes any two items in the same lobby with the same UUID. Basically it's _literally impossible_ to dupe perfect gems now (I believe you actually can, there's some cooldown for the checking that you can overload and then warp out the lobby etc etc but shhh, it's not hard for the admins to manually go and delete all items with a certain UUID since it's so easily trackable).
It would be cool to see something done about vertexes since they're obviously required to be stackable for crafts but also very high value and so off the top of my head the prime candidate for duping, a smarter someone than me needs to figure this out tho aha
Sanctuary is such a good theme
Hellcastle's home country had two timezones, I can't, it just gets worse.
The admins have quite a good system in place to ban buyers and sellers. However, when I was flipping I saw a crashed market and instantly made a sell offer and it got filled for way more than normal(basically market manipulation flipping but I didnt have to manipulate for it).
Now that im banned I realize that it probably was a duper buying out the market to give his coins to a buyer.
A lovely way to lose my 1.5k hour profile.
It also doesnt help that on my appeal where I explained all of this I just got the basic automated message and my other methods of contacting the admins have failed
Perm ban or did u get wiped?
I always worry about this, nothing happened so far but i do avoid crazy changes just cuz im scared xd
But how would they know if you just claim to be a victim of it. The actual ppl involved could say the same :( but it's unfortunate if it gets the wrong ppl
Oh shit the other day end stone was being sell offered for 200 coins each and buy ordered for 8 coins and I cashed in I really hope that wasnt a duper
@@dakota6050 nah thats just bazaar tings
@@dakota6050 I don't think anyone dupes endstone lol.
I just avoid manipulating market cus I am always scared of getting banned
very cool video 👍
Kinda late to the party here, but I have an interesting anecdote because I’m 99% sure that I’m a victim of one of the sketchier methods propping this market up: hacking and looting of profiles. Back in 2021, I had a profile that had ~350mil net worth at the time, so I’d imagine that’s significantly more now considering inflation. Anyways, I logged off for about a day, and when I returned, the profile was gone. I spawned into a new profile, opened up my profiles to switch, gone. I received no warnings or bans, and hadn’t participated in any sketchy trades or AH or bazaar behavior. Considering that at the time, my password behavior left a lot to be desired, it’s easy for me to believe that my login info got skimmed and was used to loot my profile. 350m at that time seems like a good balance between making a decent amount in irl trades, while not being such a big profile that it was noticeable on the scale of the whole server. It was a lesson for me in internet security, and honestly, I wouldn’t have been so upset about it if they’re only taken my stuff and left the profile, I had 44 mining and was top 1k acacia. Good vid ✌️
what a insanely good video holy
i don't think vertexes will go up by too much, admins have added some methods to buff their gains some time ago
tbh i wish i was a hypixel admin it would be so fun to see how stupid some hackers are
Hope you doing well because of the earthquake that happened recently
they could add like a pass code that you need to type to actually play on hypixel that you can setup like some other servers but it would be hard and the amount of help i forgot my pass code messages would be rediculous
That blurred Id kinda looked like giga chad
i hope you're alright with the earthquake, wish you the best
yay HellCastle new videooo
"hellcastle & tylerrrr just posted" me: LETS F***ING GOOOOO
I had this happen to a friend and myself on a different account recently the "hacker" or "script kiddie" I should say baited my friend into joining a discord server under the guides of "it's a dungeon party" and then via discord verification they got into my friends mc account, logged in moved everything to another account and deleted his profile leaving him with nothing, and the worst part was that he did report and what did the admins of hypixel do? Well it was the same generic support message they always give you. "The security of an account is the owners responsibility" like fr he reported it seconds after it happened and they didn't do one thing.
Edit: this happened to someone else I know and they drained him of all of his stuff except what was soul bound and as far as I know he said he didn't click any links this account hacking thing is getting crazy because anyone can hack your stuff even if you didn't click on any links
the way to distribute coins is to pick an item that isnt traded alot on the bazar but you can siphon money from IRL traders using that method too by putting a bunch of high but not too high sell orders
LOVEEEE THIS VIDEO
getting IGBLON vibes, the nostalgia
It has become a bigger problem now than ever I think cause I see more and more of acc with billions bidding on items worth less than 1k and the acc has like no skills or no stats at all
Just used code ''Hellcastle'' for my sb gems!! Glad to help and LOVE U content! I'been binge watching all the vids of dumb bans!
14:42 while these prices may seem cheap compared to the official roblox website there are MUCH cheaper ways to buy robux. For example you can find people selling clean robux on discord servers or online forums like v3rm where robux is sold for 3$/1k to 3.5$/1k before tax (Roblox takes a 30% cut). Poisoned robux (robux that is obtained through account hacking / other illicit methods like refund methods) can sell for even less than this but of course you are much more likely to get banned with poisoned robux.
Limiteds can sell for even less however you have to actually sell the limited for robux to get the robux. Rates vary but bad items can sell for very low like 1.3$/1k
wow two hours ago my account was hacked and i lost my 1000 hour prof. because I clicked a random link, never again
i remember for like a month there was one irl group who were DOING CZcams ADS. like, just advertising their bannable group on youtube lmao.
My friend pwinc was hacked and all of his items were stolen. It was so sad for him as his acc was worth thousands of dollars and he had been playing since the start.
Never saw where it said this was new
Do you plan on streaming or making videos on other game or streaming in general i would love to hang out with you and your community
I once watched someone getting hacked live on stream, he had like 2k hours and 2 bil networth (back when hype with Scrolls was ~800m)
wtf someone made an actually good video on irling unexpected
"even if you are the safest player, it will effect you"
can't effect me if i don't play :D
I love watching these videos even tho I quit skyblock
Best way is to control the irl trading like valve does they have a page to trade for irl money trading for a weapon skin and kinda like wow but it’s a bit less regulated
omg its the guy from the gd cologne video
My friend used to have hella money all the time and I asked him one day and he literally said he buys Skyblock coins and sells them at double the price pretty crazy
Im aware how serious identity theft and ratting schemes are, but imagine how cool it would be to gamble on a some site with hyperions.
Helcqstleeee!,!! The Helliest of castles and the most tylerious of all tylers
Account stealing would be avoidable if hypixel adds unique passwords like mobile
new hellcastle upload omg, hope you are doing okay in Turkey!
it isnt like hell here tf u dont have to include in Turkiye part
The ratters are pretty convincing for young, desperate people as well, with fake hypixel branded images. Some guy partied me and offered a rank upgrade if I won a duel for youtube. I won and he asked for my minecraft email address, and asked for some single use code from microsoft, probably to reset the password. I knew he was trying to rat from the start but I’m sure many would’ve fallen for it.
a guy partied me and said he was quiting sb and was giving away his stuff worth around 300m by hosting a giveaway in dungeon legends. I used to be in dungeon legends and they used to host giveaways pretty frequently but I left the server after it got raided. So I ended up getting into a fake dungeon legends server and got hacked :(
I came to this video to see if you were alright from the earthquake in Turkey. I know that you live there and it would sicken me if you got badly effected in any way.
this is a good video
that thumbnail triggered flashbacks of gamespy lol
do you think macroing and duping is ok on stranded or ironman? or should they introduce a sandbox mode that's like ironman but you can do anything?
You would still get banned lol
They could add an optional password when joining hypixel just so theres an extra wall of protection if u did get like auth hacked or ratted
7:21 thats addicted (also known as addicted to cbt)
Which is best texture pack to use in hypixel skyblock
everyone: irl trading is so bad i will never do it! hypixel: yeah guys dont irl trade with them buy our gems which can be transfered into coins but arent coins, so were technicly not breaking our own rules!
Ayo hellcastle
There have been 7.6 earthquakes near you are you ok)

Yes, that’s true indeed, IRL trading is the root cause of all the account theft or illegal internet activities related to Hypixel SkyBlock, but what’s more, is that the tough and long grinding process of SkyBlock is the root cause of how such illegal activities are fertilised.
Note: I do NOT support any of them, and I am just to express my personal views regarding the reasons of how such things can happen.
now i see wy skyblock hates irl trading like wen i heard about it i was like "oh but isnt that normal like csgo has a whole thing designed for trading skins and even shows irl value" but now seeing the chaos caused by it makes me kinda wonder why hypixel hasnt done more like adding a feature were you can email them saying your acount is hacked so they can A help u get it back in some way and B blocking it from using the server
As someone whos actually took part in some dupes and irl trading i can confirm it is NOT worth it, everything catches up to you.
what happened?
Hi Lenny
@@tuhp5237 omg hi
crimew showing up in this video is so funny
i love how most of this is just for coins
this guy is like
FitMC but for skyblock
Honey. Tylerr and hellcastle uploaded a new video😊
If this is too late to send this, I do have personal experience from a ratted account. It started small, with only a "few" items going missing, like a few of my accessories and active amour set getting stolen, then everything was taken. I have fixed my account by changing my password and factory resetting my computer, but it was a lesson learned. I got the virus from trying to find mods to make my life easier in minecraft, so NEVER DOWNLOAD MODS FROM AN UNTRUSTED SITE.
Basically admins should care more about testers and make 2fa available for everyone
i can imagine him planning on a video screaming of happines whenever someone famous gets banned for no reason🤣
10:30 this is completely unrelated, but sir_cow is a GIGA chad. i saw his name once on the wiki editor list and moved on with my life, then i met him in a end lobby and said hi. i decided to ask him a question about the wiki to see if anything would come of it, and this mad lad actually brought it up with the admins. eventually the wiki was changed and this was all because sir cow took time out of his day to listen to me and go out of his way for my request. an absolute hero
😎
@@SirCow yoo sir cow is here
I didn't know that hackers didn't shower for 8 days.
I hope you are doing good i would like to see you ingame
