Cheating and anti-cheating

There is “very” little in this game that is actually possible to cheat, because with very, very, very few exceptions, everything is entirely server side with the client purely predicting changes.

You cannot run faster, you cannot fly, you cannot god mode, you cannot magically break/pick up blocks, you cannot manipulate any other entity or even your own entity, you cannot teleport or get coins, nothing.

Even if you decompiled the game and learnt all the protocols and data involved, made a mock client that faked interfaces with the server to make the server think it was an official client… it would still be impossible, because it is entirely driven by the server.

The only real cheats that would be possible are having AI that controls your keyboard/mouse to “play like a user” whilst you are sleeping.
