HiPixel, their anti hack is causing me to hack. (Minecraft multiplayer)

Like so much in this world (or the Nether) doing the right thing is wrong and doing the wrong thing is way you must do things to make it work.

My son got into PVP via HiPixel (Minecraft multi-player server) and wanted me to join him. I tried it out in a PvP and was getting slaughtered by a player who got a gold sword before I could get anything. After getting my 3rd whack I was kicked and put on a 30 day suspension for having an unfair advantage over other players (Hacking), though I wasn’t. I suspect that other player was and in such a way that caused me to get the suspension.

So I got some alt accounts, log in via cellular which changes my IP often (as they seem to look for certain IP’s that use hacks), and now play with a hack client running. Life is good and I can thank their anti-hack into making me a HiPixel hacker player.

Minecraft PvP sounds horrible. I’ve enjoyed playing some normal Minecraft (especially with my daughters) but I’d hate to play in a “you have to cheat to compete” environment.

What kind of anti-hack measure goes after someone who loses three in a row?

Not entirely relevant, but back when I played Diablo II, I had figured out a lot of the underlying patterns behind the “random” maps, such that I could often look at the first room of a dungeon floor, and immediately say “The stairs to the next level are probably to the southeast”, or whatever. Well, one time I did that in a multiplayer game, and another player got really pissed off at me, because he actually was using a maphack, and figured that two people using maphacks in the same game would be enough to attract attention and get us both banned.
