Reason for ban Exploit Abuse

Length of ban: Perm

Place of ban (e.g. in-game, Discord, etc.) In game

Staff who banned you MissPatient

Did any other staff deal with you before you were banned? No

Did you receive warnings prior to your ban? No

Why do you think you were banned? Apparently the context of the ban was around the break speed of certain blocks using the jackhammer

What is your explanation for your actions? Why should you be unbanned? I told them I was simply mining out a tunnel, gonna put tnt down it and blow it up, I very clearly didnt have the opportunity to do that because of this ban

What measures will you take to prevent this from happening again? It isnt my fault the way this played out, a perm ban for something out of my control is unheard of. What evidence do you have? I have seen nothing so far

How can you ensure we can trust you again? I literally am an active player who actually plays the server, the question is how can I ensure we trust the staff team again to not false ban people and stop them picking on leaderboard players

What else would you like to say to the admins reviewing your appeal? I need explanations, logs and logical arguments.

Hello Bullet. Thank you for taking the time to make an appeal.

After our conversation the other day where you did in fact state to me that you were going to place tnt down a set of tunnels you built. Other than me advising you not to blow the area up due to its proximity to your manual farms, I was happy to leave you to your base building. However, upon patrolling the base today I discovered that a large portion of the area we had spoken about appeared to have been mined with a Jackhammer. Given the positioning of your tunnels, and the shape of the area that had been mined, this would not have been possible unless you filled your tunnels back up from bottom to top so they could be mined. Which, as the logs show, you did do.

There is a well known exploit on the server where faster breaking blocks, such as netherrack, tuff, or in your case TNT, can be used to almost instantly mine through tougher blocks such as deepslate or obsidian. This bypasses the intentional debuff of mining fatigue on the Jackhammer, as well as the extra time it should take to mine those blocks. This is an explicitly bannable offence in our rules, and one that is common knowledge among long-term/"leaderboard" players of the server.

You filled several of your tunnels up with TNT, but you did not detonate a single one. You instead mined it, clearing a significant portion of your base from sky to bedrock in a very short amount of time. I would like to give you the opportunity to process what has been said above, and respond should you feel the need to.

How would I know an exploit if I never came across it?
Do you have video evidence?
How is a perm ban out of the thin air a normal procedure?

people dont talk about exploits etc in their company if its going to get them banned
I in fact did blow them up, I patched up the odd remains and was due to continue later today before you banned me.
I alsi did indeed do NORMAL jackhammer mining which had the usual slow break, theres none of this insta break type stuff your talking about

so again I simply say this ban is heavily unjustified and I have paid the highest price for something which is completely out of my control and if ANYTHING even if I was so called guilty, standard 1 week should have applied. People who use fastplace for example only got a week????

Oh and sorry dont overlook where there are random holes everywhere in the walls! It clearly shows what I was doing is legit, its NOT a clean cut wall because if it was, would in fact be an exploit so I ask you reverse this error

Okay. To start, I do not need video evidence for something the logs so blatently show. Everything you have said in your response is simply untrue. You did not blow the TNT up. There is absolutely 0 logs within 100 blocks of that area of your base that show that the TNT was detonated.

Oh and sorry dont overlook where there are random holes everywhere in the walls! It clearly shows what I was doing is legit, its NOT a clean cut wall because if it was, would in fact be an exploit so I ask you reverse this error

There are no holes in the walls aside from minute pockets at the bedrock and stone levels of your base, which were actually a chunk over from the area you've mined the TNT in. I can also very clearly see that to mine out the area you placed and broke only TNT as no other block was placed/broken in the tunnels after you dug them out. Using a pickaxe on TNT is an insta break, as you probably know and as has been tested this morning while investigating. So yes, it did insta break and also insta broke everything in the jackhammers 3x3x3 radius, which again shows in the block logs as well as your player logs.

For exploit abuse, and even attempted exploit abuse, the standard punishment is a permenant ban unless extenuating circumstances apply. This is not one of those cases.

For the sake of not dragging this appeal out for hours, I'm going to conclude it here. It will save both my time and yours. Attached are images of a fraction of the area you mined in your base, with the TNT restored to show exact their placement for Jackhammer mining. They were very clearly mined, both visually and in the server logs, and not blown up like you stated. The walls are smooth and are their original blocks, also displaying that no TNT was detonated and you didn't patch that area as you claim. There is no error, nor targetting, nor are you being picked on. You abused an exploit which is clearly outlined and forbidden in our rules, and then had the audacity to try to lie about it and negotiate your punishment. You will remain permenantly banned, and I have no desire to speak on this matter any further with you.

Appeal Denied.
