This hack is part of Pixel Worlds history. It leaked a lot of unreleased items (that some actually did not end up being in the game at all) and pretty much broke pixel worlds that time. It was fun for the players but not for the devs who took a long time to clean it up. But, you think it would happen again? Vote in the poll and list your reason in the replies.

there have been duplication glitches and hacks over the time, its question of time when someone would do this again, if he has skills to hack these systems.
Exactly because since the game has evolved for a while, their security is stronger.
it is stronger, but you donāt need to be really pro hacker to hack this game, i think just no one wants to hack such a little game ;-;
I think it was in 2017, and no it wonāt happen again.
It wasnāt actually a hack either, basically what happened was that the developers were stress testing the amount of dropped items a world could handle, and so they used admin powers to just spawn hundreds of random dropped items in a test world.
One mistake was that the test world was available on the Main servers too, so one player found out about the world and started messing around ad give items and stuff.
The fact that these āpro hackersā require stolen accounts to further promote their hacks, still shows that the hackers are still dependant on the community (The Greedy and Stupid part of it, specifically).
I doubt they will be able to crack the devās code, given the fact that they still require the āfallen sideā of the community to do their own biddings.
Theyāve started slacking with the prevention of hacks. Itās getting worse and worse as time goes by, the amount of moderation a slowing down quickly, and the communication from the devs has come to a complete halt. The veteransā opinions are no longer as appreciated as they used to be, you know, the players who criticize the game because we love the game and have experience, wanting the game to be the best it can be.
A certain moderator has told me theyāre finding ways to even make fake reports disguised as any players name.
Thatās how my world got locked.
So, it wouldnāt be too far off to think something like this is bound to happen again.
The Hack happened in 2017, I donāt think it will happen again unless the devs make a similar mistake as they did in 2017.
I donāt even think jake can answer this question.
Ah yes, the IG āKā bot.
2017*
ive always wondering why its āKā?
It simply means āOKā
Just a shorter version for okay, also I think in that context it wouldnāt make sense.
Logged on my old phone to find this fossil of a post on one of the tabs. Funny that its happening again
This can only happen if the databases are hacked, and this is not possible as long as no authority is hacked.
There used to be a line of code in the game that anyone could use to spawn items, and those who spawned old items did it using that.
they did have, and probably still have, moderator status accounts which they used for access to the database
Wonāt give them admin access though, the way these players are they would probably try and block the current admin if they couldā¦
This post is interesting. What Neoslayer wrote way back then just predicted the very long downward trajectory the game was headed in thenā¦now here we are
The original post talks about Devs ā¦ Pluralā¦ As far as I see it there is 1 dev plus Pixellox and Iām not even sure what they do or what level their skills actually go to. Are they a full on coder?
There is no way they could carry out the same āclean upā that was done all those years ago . The game is so big itās ridiculous that it runs on the shoe string of staff it hasā¦
There lies the truth it isnāt runningā¦itās spluttering along from one problem to anotherā¦it also takes liberties with players actual, real money.
Now I love the game, but at some point they will have to take a different direction or ā¦
This doesnāt seem very likely because if they had the database, they could delete everyoneās data, give themselves admin privileges, and ban everyone. Also, from what Iāve seen, admins can obtain any items they want, so if anyone buys an admin account, they can create any item they want. I donāt know if it works for moderators.
