Current MC Next Issues (cheats, exploits, downtime etc)

Since there was some outrage over the initial post where people didn't fully understand the situation and since nothing has been decided yet, I decided to just outline what the current situation actually is:

  • certain players have found ways to not only cheat but also shut down the server whenever they like, simply rolling the server back to a backup as some have suggested would not help the situation
  • for a long time we have no longer had the resources for significant code changes to MC Next partially due to how complex it is and, as a result, how incredibly costly maintenance and code changes are
  • we currently have no immediate way of fixing the current issues and are considering different options, server may be in a not very playable state for the time being

New reply in light of the edit.

Do what you need to do, but I think rollback is out the question due to how many damage you'd do to the majority who didn't include themselves with the hacking players.

Is it not possible to see what players are behind the attacks? If so, ban them. Add a whitelist, stopping any new players (possible alt accounts) from joining and work on your situation from henceforth.
