CRASHING A Pay-to-Win Minecraft Server with 100,000 Snowballs - #2
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 04. 2022
- Hey ya'll! Today, we use a ridiculous mechanism to generate 100,000 Snowballs and INSTANTLY stop this Pay-to-win Minecraft server! This server sells crate keys, 200 dollar ranks, and has over 2000 players, making Pay-to-win on it especially damaging, as it ruins gameplay and makes the game totally unfair to play on!
This was recorded more than a year ago at this point, but due to data loss, I lost all the video and the motivation to upload anything. It's why I slowed down so much. But apparently, an old external drive that I gave to relatives was never even used by them and just sat in a closet, so I got it back, used data recovery software, and voila, we're back.
The machine was designed by LastWanderer, a really brilliant dude! / lastwanderer

I feel like Yive, the Dev who talked to you at the end, was actually happy that the person lagging the server was willing to talk at least a bit, before being interrupted by Smijda. And yes, Smijda. That guy.
I honestly thought he'd say, I'm not going to ban you. No point, we tore it down and patched the cause. And I'm sure you have alts. Ban is clearly what you want. And it was funny. Good show.
And maybe he would've done that but someone else banned him anyway.
@@theblackwidower Horizon was just stalling instead of speaking productively, foolish to think that Horizon would actually be coherent IG

@@candle_eatist "sign dupe lololol"
That.
@@danialrafid bro wasnt sure when he was gonna get banned man, that convo was on borrowed time. Hard to talk when you dont when the conversation will end
Something about the final admin having a chat with you through signs was kind of wholesome. Almost like two swordfighters having a cup of tea after an epic duel to the almost death.
That is until the other admin shot you in the heart from a distance with a bow and arrow :(
so with this lag machine, the longer it is left, the more devastating it is, growing in size uncontrollably, and becoming more difficult to stop the bigger it gets. you could say that the effect *snowballs*
underrated
God dammit take my like
Also peak comedy.
YES
komedy
the longer it rolls, the bigger it gets, eventually it's gonna be so big that nothing can stop it (just like a Snowball)
this has deep meaning
The one guy who bled to death on a bush because he was trapped by lag is one of the funniest things.
Yeah
So...you're a terrible person.

@@ipadize 17:18
"Fell asleep" being the entire reason you were able to crash this server in the end is just brilliant
Your plan not being destroyed back to the very beginning hinged on one sleepy mod not deleting the machine the first time
That mod is probably some underpaid dude who couldn't care less imo
@@gustavonaka many servers staff are unpaid volunteers
Amirmir 🛌💤💤
I feel like that the mod may have even wanted it to happen a tiny bit.
I mean come on.
Takes the time to burn the snow golems with a lava bucket but does literally nothing else to it. Didn't kill the drowned, nothing. In fact, world editing it may have even been _faster._
But we'll never know.
Maybe thet fell asleep, maybe not. I doubt we'll ever get an answer.
You kicked the server straight in the snowballs.

I love the idea that talking to admins is an eldritch ritual that involves ceremonial dancing, colorful dye, and communicating only through inscriptions carved into wood.
Yeah Nate it's pretty funny
@@LandenDenham Why would you do this? What did I do to you to cause you to slight me so? Did you just think it would be funny? Is my suffering humorous to you? I asked only one thing of you, but apparently that's too much. Why would you do this? *_Why???_*
Yeah Nate we won't do it again
I know right Nate, however if only the mods would bother to private message instead of communicating through signs, it would be a faster, alterNATE way
Underrated comment right here. Thanks Nate.
The admins are definitely my favorite cinematic villains.
"Welcome to diamond survival the place where lag is permanent"
That's the goal bud
Best part about this is eventually the server will have to “patch” so many basic features like redstone clocks that it will be unplayable anyway
That's not how patching out exploits works, but ok 🙄.
@@DxBlack not as if the server "devs" would have a basic understanding of how minecraft works but ok.
@@DxBlack well you effectively modify the default behaviour of the game to prevent an exploit if you do this on and on and on you do limit the playability of the game, probably breaking some farms or contraptions in the process which pisses players off
@@DxBlack Snow golems can't throw snowballs? Welp, now you've stopped certain farms which use that. Like mob drop farms that rely on snow golems to push mobs into waterflow, or into a hole. Redstone clocks patched out and disabled? There goes any pulsating machine that exists for any reason. Patch donkeys from having chests, and now one of the only reasons donkeys exist is gone. That's definitely how patching works, ESPECIALLY for these 15-20 year old P2W Minecraft server hosts. It's not as though they're well educated programmers who know so much about Minecraft they could rewrite entire fundamental mechanics to actually fix them. It's more like detection = action = break detected thing.
You're prolly a p2w server host, fuck outta this comment section.

Gotta love how their anti-entity cramming measures were defeated by a BASE GAME ITEM
With the enemy's defenses improving, a new strategy is necessary. I have a proposal.
What your team has been performing is effectively a localized denial of service, not a DISTRIBUTED denial of service. Clearly, the time investment your team puts into these attacks is less effective per hour when it can be undone by a single, easily discoverable mistake on the part of anyone on your team.
Therefore, distribute your chaos. Rather than make one very localized lag machine where no one would reasonably build... *distribute many smaller, less individually effective machines throughout normally built areas that would be loaded by players constantly.* Not things that can be interpreted as a lag machine, mind you, but simple tools that, at a glance, appear legitimate at best, experimentally dumb machines made by newbies at worst.
Not only are these systems hiding in plain sight, they are easily constructed in small time frames. Their impact on the server would be VASTLY hidden because the administrators wouldn't interpret tiny, always-on bases as an attack, but rather will erroneously attribute these bases as an increase of player activity. Further, because they would be placed underneath or around other players' bases, the admins would assume those bases were part of another player's area. Further, it's harder to use world edit to erase these bases because any player who was accidentally caught in the crossfire would be rightfully pissed and may leave.
Some bases will be destroyed by other players, sure. And maybe the admins would catch on to a few of them. But these TINY generators are simply "fire and forget," meaning you won't have to be around them to have them operating and they won't lead to you getting caught. AND, if you vary what kinds of machines you build, they won't be discovered as quickly as you can build them.
So with your whole team rotating accounts and placing them gradually over the server's entire inhabited area, you can very slowly ratchet down the TPS until the entire server is choking for air, with the admins unable to determine or understand WHY, because they'll be looking for a greater lag machine and not a bunch of small farms, contraptions, and infinite state rube goldbergs hiding just a few dozen blocks underground, EVERYWHERE.
Just a thought. No matter how it goes though, kick some ass, dudes. P2Wers are wallet drainers of children, and should be ferreted out and eliminated wherever they appear.
Give this man a nobel prize. Genius
Dude. Get in contact with Horizon with this idea. It's fucking GENIUS.
you are one evil genius working for the good of all...or someone that REALLY likes guerrilla war
Or a one for all solution is to make Microsoft update TOS to prohibit any kind of P2W.

"When I was just a sapling and snowball, I used to watch the Iron Golems defend the village from monsters and raiders. I admired their bravery and dedication to justice and saving the people. During the day my friends and I would play 'Golems & Raiders', and at night I would dream of joining the protectors in battle. In my heart, I knew I wanted to be a hero just like them.
"The villagers, however, did not share the same enthusiasm. Instead, they laughed at me; one even asked, 'What, are you going to poke the monsters to death with those twigs?' They were right, I certainly didn't have the strength as the iron giants. But I wasn't going to let that stop me. I would find another way to fight evil.
"I remembered back to my childhood play; I used to pelt my friends with snowballs (much to their annoyance). I began practicing my throw, and I was able to improve enough to hit a target from 10 meters away with considerable oomph. Once again, though, the villagers laughed. 'How are snowballs going to keep us safe?' they mockingly asked. Suddenly, a raid had begun. This was the perfect time to show the villagers that I could protect them too! I began throwing snowballs with all my might!
"...but the raiders only seemed annoyed, nor did they halt their attacks. I threw snowball after snowball, but they didn't have any effect on the battle.
"The next few weeks were rough. The villagers continued to laugh at me, the Iron Golems ignored me, and my friends avoided me lest they be mocked as well. Maybe the villagers were right...maybe I wasn't meant to be a hero...
"As I reached my lowest point, I was approached by two young lads. They said they were looking to take down some shady people. 'What can I do?' I asked sadly. 'All I can do is throw harmless snowballs.'
"The two lads smiled. One placed a gentle hand on my shoulder and said, 'And that is exactly why we need you.'"

Actually I am pretty sure the factorization of the scaffolding then triggers the an obligation, of the signal transfer of the block which the updates above then updates below.

honestly respect to admin you've talked with, this guy was just doing his job, and had enough chill to actually chat a little
he would inevitably ban you if no one else did, and he had all the right to, but i doubt that he's in charge of the "pay for your sins and you're free to go" policy, but he works for the server, so at least publicly he has to defend it
Yeah, though honestly in that position, since your gonna ban the person anyways, might as well chat a bit if they seem talkative. I mean, got all the time they have to discuss stuff with them really.
actually, that guy is a dev, he probably admired the sheer simplicity of the machine that literally crashed a p2w server that was owned by a guy who most likely got bags
"pay for your sins and you're free to go" did you mean: the 1500s catholic church?
In the video we can see it wasn't the Dev who banned him, but Schmijda
@@lazerninjastudios9827 did you mean: almost every current judgement system
Damn, that was pretty cool
*Rimshot*
No but seriously, your editing and writing is getting really good, I was super invested the whole time. I cried when I learned Bob died in the line of duty, and when the new squad got clipped out of reality into limbo, I nearly broke. They all had families. Lives. Loved ones. All lost to limbo...
Hopefully wherever world edits go when they get cut is nice. With trapped blazes and plenty of ice.
3D blue print breakdown is absolutely amazing. Not that it is complex, but seeing the layers like that is cool. Keep up the good work and videos
Roughest part of this is
if the admins hadn't discovered it the first time, they likely would have never known why the server kept crashing, or who did it.
It does feel like someone either found out & told devs or there's a mole on Horizon's team.
@@MrInternetHermit I'm also wondering if the mods grew a pair and tp'd to everyone one by one once the first accidental lag started.
But yours sounds like a more reasonable conclusion, honestly
At least this means they have some braincells working.
@@MrInternetHermit Or they watch the video, duh.
@@phuongtranhoang7784 The videos only come after Horizon is done, so they won't help against any future strikes.
Yive tho was such a cool person, interacting with the person who crashed the server and even giving Horizon the signs that he needed
the coolest p2w server admin
Yive's just like “ya know,whatever”
I feel luke Yive is actually secretly a fan and knew it was The Horizon and knew that interaction would go into a video so he figured why not lol.
@@The_Horizon the most polished turd is still a turd

I just wanted to say, the amount of work and effort put into this video was incredible! You have amazing story telling skills and really have a way of editing it so that the story flows smoothly. I enjoyed every second of this video and just wanted to say thanks for entertaining me. These P2W servers really are getting out of hand nowadays, I’m always glad to see people standing up to them. Plus, from my knowledge, I believe it’s against Minecraft’s EULA.
You kind of strike me as a guy who plays (or played) 2b2t haha.
You are great! Keep up the work! (even if the work is crashing servers, i might take some notes for P2W servers i know :D)
Props to lastwanderer for dedicating his life to the destruction of p2w servers
*about a week but still!
@@The_Horizon still a good job
What's wrong with p2w tho, people need to make money somehow to host the servers.
@@The_Horizon ?
@@_terminal theres other ways to do it than providing advantages to paying players. Take hypixel for example, its a fair experience for both users paying or playing for free.
*its also against mojangs TOS i think
I feel like professional lag creators and scummy server operators are in a constant and potent arms race and I love it. The damn R&D these guys put into just crashing shifty servers is magnificent.
The funny and sad part about it is that it’s an one sided arms race. You can patch the lag machines within hours, while it takes weeks to come up with non patched designs. Same with dupes and such.
@@paidyak7925 Except these "patches" are removing critical game features for everyone
@@guyingrey1072 yeah, its just stupid
@@guyingrey1072 It's kind of a M.A.D. (mutually assured destruction) Scenario.
While the machines crashers make are effective and accurate. They take an ungodly amount of time to figure it out and then even more time after that to make it better. Not only that, the mods can very easily stop them the second any hint of a lag machine comes around(assuming competent mods), and only a bit more time before they patch out the machine.
But, while the mods can very easily patch out the lag/crash problem. Chances are that they won't find a way to fix the problems caused by the patch.
As you have mentioned. In many lag machines, the best way to patch it out is by disabling a major part of the game or mechanic. In this video, the mods end up disabling the ability of snow golems to attack other mobs, this means snow golem-based auto farms are now wack. But considering all the other things that could have been removed, this one is very mild. The best one I can think of is the lag "machine" in the latest video where they simply spam crafting options, causing lag. Ultimately, the mods disabled crafting entirely. Quite literally turning the game into just _MINE_ .
Both mods and crashers are in an arms race that will eventually end up making the server completely unplayable for the average player.
The animations in this video like how you were explaining the machine was really good
Great video, top tier. Never stop making them!
The mods really did put a new spin on "Lord, give me a sign?"
AHAHAHHAHAHA im dead
Good one
The mods: "Lord, give me a sign?"
Me: "HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME"
When a lag machine is so powerful, instead of lagging the whole server it crashes instantly that everyone thinks it's a regular restart instead
LMFAO yep
The only thing this was missing is that Stand information thing you had in episode 1, that's a cherry on top. This was epic to watch, subbed.
These are so enjoyable for me omg tysm
I love the 3d visual demonstrations of the lag machines! I feel so cool ahah
So, the “unloaded snowballs are causing lag by appearing in the servers ram” created a fun clock for you while also showing how much actual information you were forcing the server to save. What a legend
I love how even though they are limited more and more, the lag machines just keep getting stronger.
Creativity is born from limitations.
@@329link Reminds me of the saying, "a man is most dangerous when he has nothing to lose" or something along those lines.p
It's an arms race against p2w, poetic
the lag machines harden in response to physical trauma
I remember the good ol days when a lag machine was just a bunch of doors hooked up to a clock
This is one of the best things I've ever seen. It's like watching someone take on scammers, with the downside that you don't really get to win.
"We patched it!"
At some point you won't be able to patch it-
They'll always outsmart u lol
As someone said, evil.... I mean good always finds a way
@@piotrnapora5810 lol
Since their patches seem to just take a lazy route such as disabling redstone clocks and snow golem AI, I feel like the best way to make the server feel an impact is just asking: what is a core feature that could potentially lag the server?
Then try to see if a lag machine can be made around it.
me: makes a crafting lag machine
@@hazardousyt8233 by using a hopper, dispenser and a crafting table you can create a somewhat-decent lag machine that will just create a gazillion of boats. The machine is very cheap, but the boats themselves would take up massive amount of wood to make and it's not as effective as other lag machines, so there are just better ways to get the same cheaper.
@@PineappleDealer37 I play on bedrock and can’t dispense actual boats or stack them inside each other so….
@@PineappleDealer37 They disabled redstone clocks so have fun with that one.
Seriously though, put a fuckload of hoppers feeding into a dispenser and spam the shit out of a lever attached to it.
Use a water stream to send the boats out of render distance, rinse and repeat with trigger mechanisms.
Update:
Wait, did they disable observers? I don't think they did, but it's been a hot minute since I played on their server.
Gotta give them credit when it's due though, the "fell asleep" move was such a sigma thing to do, I can't even.
chadeveloper
Yeah, your health should be more important than a P2W Minecraft server.
they could've even made up a lie about "we thought setting despawn time of snowballs to 15s would be enough" no they literally just went "we fell asleep lmao"
Omgosh this animation is freaking AMAZING!!!!! The way all the blocks are phased in looks seamless, it's just awesome😍😍
Great video! Love seeing these P2W servers get put on their knees! just one suggestion. You can try using chunkloaders (nether portal-based designs take mere minutes to set up) to decrease the likelyhood of you and any related accounts getting easily banned. May keep you guys just one tiny step in front of the admins, especially the lower mods/helpers who don't have access to the server console.
18:40 "the admins decided to moderate one less discord server, and started paying more attention to lag machines"
Didn't expect to get a good laugh out of this video
Crash the discord server
Imagine 😂@Sam Sam
@@SamSam-df4ow easy use bots that spam
So hold on, you used snowballs, a product of coldness and *freezing,* to *FREEZE* a P2W server? Genius.
They should use lava to set the server on fire and kill it
is that pun intended
oml
@@The_Horizon Oh hi -Mark- Horizon.
STAB bonus.
That animation in the middle of this is so silly i love it
loved this entire saga, especially the little animations that walked the audience through the plans. it was also surprising seeing the owner of such an extremely p2w server acting so friendly and chill at the end of it all. just 10/10
