How to find out of someone is hacking (for sure)?

[cheyennix]

Me and my friends are at a conflict in which point one of 2 people are thought to have hacked items in, etc. I want to know if there is any possible way to find out, for sure, if items are spawned in, or any other way to see.

there isn't a real way to see it, sadly. Because you cant customise the effects only the particular attribute (such as legendary etc) and you can do that at the tinker/reforging

You could look into the fastest anyones receieved the items that those people have without cheating and compare it to their hours/

"Hacked items"... This isn't Dark Souls or Minecraft. Items are shared between worlds, so you could just download someone else's world with the items in it, get the items from someone else you know, or add them with a program like TEdit.

Pretty sure one of the inv. editors allows you to view players on your server's inventory in real time.

Notice something unusual? ask them about it.

Minecraft seems like a peculiar example for a game that would better fit the term "hacked items" considering it has a creative mode...

Anyway, unfortunately there's really no way to enforce the idea of only using items gathered from the mp world if you're not using a mod to do so. Considering you're here asking i'm guessing you aren't using one.

Sadly that means you can only operate off assumptions as to whether the items in question could have been feasibly obtained. Since there are people out there capable of killing end-game mobs with early pre-hardmode gear, that can be a bit difficult to determine with any level of certainty.

theres no way to be sure but.. if thay are using admin commands to spawn in the items it shows up in the log, but there are plugins that let you see players inventorys, no real way to be 100% sure tho..

If they have items that aren't available normally, then they hacked or used mods or just joined a server with free items.
