All Networks The tape ban for drag clicking

[uchiha.x01]

Personally disagree. Whether normal mice allow for the same drag clicking method or not, doesn't matter a lot. The fact is that tape does increase your cps, and if the rule were removed, that would happen for nearly everyone playing on kbm. I'm not saying it's entirely fair for all pc players individually, but that's not my problem. If you let each and every player increase their cps, it'll be even harder to distinguish tape drag from macro or auto clicking. And then the people who are full-on cheating won't get banned at all anymore since they can simply say "Erm, I use tape!", as it gives a similar amount of cps. It'll also be even more unfair towards other platform players, who are already at more of a disadvantage after drag clicking was allowed (not your point, I'm aware, but I still had to mention it). In short, I believe if we allow tape, we might as well allow macro and autoclicking, and that's going to make our server worse and the gameplay more unfair.

This argument fundamentally misunderstands both how drag clicking works and what cheating means. Tape does NOT click for you, it just provides grip. It does NOT remove the skill gap, it enables budget users to compete with players who can afford high-end mouse that already come drag-optimized. If someone has tape and still cannot drag click properly, their CPS will stay low.

Saying “we might as well allow macros” if we allow tape is like saying “we might as well allow wallhacks” if we allow high FPS monitors. It is a complete false equivalence. Macros automate, tape facilitates manual input.


lets stop punishing honest players for not being rich

You might also say "guns kill people" with this logic

Explain how you get banned for using tape?

just a sentinal ban for autoclicking

'my pc can only run 2 fps so everyone has to play on 2 fps too'

they cant use the tape thing because they will have to provide evidence that they reach that amount of cps by drag clicking with tape, that has to include handcam.

just a sentinal ban for autoclicking

No. Sentinel cant distinguish between tape or no tape, its impossible

 

[BicolourSine41 🇺🇦]

yes ik, but if you click too fast they might just ban you for autoclicking and then you have to show you can drag like that

 

[uchiha.x01]

yes ik, but if you click too fast they might just ban you for autoclicking and then you have to show you can drag like that

ppl have 300 cps

 

[BicolourSine41 🇺🇦]

ppl have 300 cps

YES IK, but then you get banned and have to show you can click 300 cps, and most likely next time you do it you will most likely get banned again

The point of this post is NOT to encourage cheating, it is to ensure consistency and fairness. If factory-textured mouse that optimize for drag clicking are allowed (Bloody A70x), then adding tape to replicate that texture on budget mouse is not cheating, it’s leveling the playing field. Tape does NOT automate anything; its just adding grip to. And drag clicking is already allowed by the server, so banning a method that helps some achieve it more effectively contradicts the existing rules. Fairness should be about function, not cost. Instead of policing what people physically do to their mouse, something that CANNOT even be detected, set a CPS cap like other major servers. That’s enforceable, clear, and fair for all input devices.

Bloody A70x mouses are very expensive yaknow

uchi did u even read what I wrote? my msg isnt long... a game should be fair for all and when ppl like u and your cheater want to play in this way, they should get another server just for pro ppl. Also I didnt criticize your opinion, why do u do in my case. I can say how I feel about it and its a bad idea in my eyes. U guys always forget that like 80% of players are no snipers and we have to deal with this amazing "draggers with or without tape" aswell and its not nice

This post is only about the use of tape for drag clicking. It is not about whether drag clicking itself should be allowed.​

​

The current rule:​

“Making physical modifications to your mouse to increase your CPS. If you do, the moderation team or our anticheat may restrict your access to our server.”

Why this rule doesn’t make sense​

Tape is not cheating. It doesn't automate clicks, doesn’t change internal mouse behavior, and doesn’t give anyone an unfair advantage over users with more expensive mice like the Bloody A70x or Roccat Kain, which ship with textured buttons designed for drag clicking.
If the exact same texture is allowed when sold by for example Bloody or Turtle Beach, then replicating that texture manually should not be classified as cheating.

All tape does is replicate the exact same texture by applying a small piece of tape to cheaper mice that otherwise wouldn’t register your drag clicks properly. Tape only adds grip, it only works if the player has mastered drag clicking. It doesn’t click by itself.

If those factory made buttons are allowed, then tape that creates the exact same surface should be allowed too.

Let’s break this down​

-A Bloody A70x or Roccat Kain ships with textured buttons made for drag clicking out of the box. That’s allowed.
-A $10 office mouse with a piece of electrical tape to achieve the same texture? And that’s not allowed?
So what exactly is being punished here, the clicking method or how expensive your mouse is?

This rule punishes players who can’t afford higher end gear and forces everyone to either buy specific mice or be stuck with unfair limitations.

The inconsistency​

This rule enforces “no hardware modifications,” but where’s the line?
-What about Glorious mouse grip tape, officially sold by Glorious themselves?
-And just to push the logic, what if I put tape on my finger, not the mouse? Is that allowed? Because that’s not a mouse modification.

If using tape counts as cheating, then the A70x and other drag optimized mice are essentially pay to win tools that exploit the same mechanical principle, but they’re allowed because it was done by the manufacturer?
That doesn’t make sense. Judgement should be based on function, not origin. If a modification mimics legal hardware with no added automation it should not be treated differently

Other major PvP servers like Hypixel don’t ban tape. Why? Because it’s not a real issue. There’s no automation, no artificial CPS inflation, just a different surface texture for grip.
Drag clicking itself is allowed on CubeCraft. So why ban the one thing that simply makes it easier on budget mice?

Another big problem is that this rule is almost impossible to enforce fairly.
How exactly can staff or the anticheat tell if someone has tape on their mouse? You can’t see tape through gameplay, you can’t detect it with software and you can’t prove it without physically inspecting someone’s mouse, which obviously isn’t possible online.
So what does enforcement come down to? Suspicion? Accusations? Players admitting it?

That’s not a fair or consistent system. If tape can’t be detected then banning it serves no purpose other than punishing honest players who admit to using it, while others just stay silent and play on.

A clear and fair solution​

If CubeCraft wants to prevent extreme CPS abuse then do what other servers do, implement a CPS cap.

That removes the gray area entirely. It doesn’t matter how you click, as long as you stay under 20 CPS (or whatever limit is set). It’s clear, fair, and enforceable without extra confusion or unnecessary restrictions. It treats a taped button and a factory textured button the same, and keeps drag clicking accessible for all players, regardless of their gear.
(Or stick with the auto kick system that’s already in place.)


If I’m missing something here please let me know, but I and almost everyone I’ve spoken with, just don’t understand this rule.

TL;DR:​

Tape doesn’t click for you, it doesn’t modify hardware behavior. It simply replicates the textured surface of higher end mice, nothing more. Remove the tape ban and make it fair for all players, not just those who can afford €50-70 mice.

'Makes it easier for people to reach higher cps'. Happy now...

If you add " having already mastered how to drag and use it in a game" then yes I'd agree with you for a lesser spec mouse

 

[CeruleanPrism81]

many players who drag click use duct tape on CC, Knowing what kind of video appeals are sent to admins, I can say for sure, So I agree that this rule is stupid because it is impossible to detect, And those who say that they have to show their mouse on camera to admins and drag click, they probably don’t know that you can remove the tape from the mouse and drag click like that, the sticky layer remains and nothing is visible, what about the mouse coating itself, the mouse keys become smooth over time, and dirt and grease from your fingers makes drag clicking impossible, and my mouse Bloody A70x costs 28 euros, which is cheap actually, there are mice popular among Minecrafters that cost 70 euros, the rules also say about any modifications of your mouse that is, the tape, whether you want it or not, is considered a modification. At first, I also couldn’t understand because drag clicks are mostly done with tape, and even those popular clutch masters also have tape, And they even advise Tape for drag, SO WHY IS TAPE NOT ALLOWED? firstly, allowing tape contradicts the rules about modifying your mouse, and when the moderation tried to make a balance! they failed, because where is it? everyone calmly violates your rules and makes more than 30cps, and oh, and the rules say "We recommend you avoid doing more than 15CPS on the server" on which mouse button? I hope you understand what the moderation wanted to do, but again they failed. I couldn't even imagine that in the end it would turn out so illogical, and why? moderation is limited in its capabilities, and they made some kind of boundaries for themselves that they can't go beyond, OR CUBECRAFT likes how everyone talks about drag clicks

I think allowing the use of the tape is wrong and unfair to other players. Especially considering that we are talking about Bedrock Edition, which was originally designed to be played on mobile devices. Most players use touch screens or gamepads. They do not have access to drag-click capabilities, much less "improvements" like the tape. It turns out that someone on a PC with a mouse and tape gets 30+ CPS, and another player on a phone cannot compete at all. This breaks the balance and puts players on an unequal footing. If a person really knows how to drag click, he should be able to do it without the tape. The tape is already a mechanical boost. It makes drag click more stable. This is no longer just a "skill", it is an attempt to bypass the hardware limitation. By allowing the tape, we open the way for other controversial "improvements" non-standard modifications. where it is not skill that wins, but equipment. This is unfair and makes the game less accessible to regular players. I am against allowing the use of the tape and other external modifications. Minecraft Bedrock should remain accessible and fair for all platforms.
If someone wants to click 30+ CPS with tape, let them go to Java, where such mechanics are the norm.
And in Bedrock Edition, a balance between platforms must be maintained. The captain changed the rules, the anti-cheat allows up to 15 CPS, but in practice, players calmly click at 40-50 CPS, and the system does not react. If the limit exists, it should work stably and equally for everyone. My suggestion: to improve the anti-cheat so that it: records excess CPS (for example, over 20), reacts equally to any clicking techniques, automatically kicks or punishes violators. Then there will be no need to argue about the tape, mice and other methods, everyone will be on equal terms.

Hello I agree with you, but I do need to understand how you can set cps limit for block placing button. I don't think servers can detect block place button's cps. Because as I see in eggwars (bedrock) most people do have insanely high cps for block button to do 20 block extentions etc. could you please shed an idea on how to limit cps for right click or block place button?
thanks
