All Networks My Message to a Dead Server than can be Revived with proper leadership and moderation

[ColourFloor]

Hopefully an admin can give answers some point. I appreciate the responses but it seems that there’s a lot of stuff that only admins can give clear answers to. As well as the fact being most of the stuff discussed isn’t something that mods work on.

This is a great point. It feels like a lot of the time they say they’re working on it or they’re gonna implement something but it never happens. I understand they’re not gonna implement every piece of feedback, but a lot of it is plain common sense. Sentinel has been pretty bad for a while now and they’ve said they’re “working on it,” but when is it going to ban actual hackers consistently? They keep dropping support on older versions which were a lot more stable for my game. I keep getting lots of bugs now. I get it’s so they can “add new updates” but cubecraft ran on 1.12 for the longest time. Ever since they added the 1.19 update I’ve had noticeable hit reg issues and to this day it still seems to be a problem. I hope they actually will do something or at least do a better job of showing how they’ll do it rather than just “work on it.”

about sentinel im pretty sure they arent allowed to tell us what or how they are improving it as it would allow cheaters to adapt faster and get away with cheating

cubecraft has fallen, billions must craft

 

[iamTEN20]

My name is charxzz. For anyone who doesn’t know me, I’m the highest level player on the entire CubeCraft network and the #1 in EggWars Teams of 4. I’ve been here for years. I’ve grinded through every meta, every update. I’ve poured thousands of hours into this server, and I’ve watched it grow from a small community into one of the biggest Minecraft networks in the world.
But right now, I’m done staying quiet.
The staff team at CubeCraft has become completely out of touch with the people who actually play and love this server. You don’t listen to what we want. You only seem to care about money, and every major decision lately feels designed to serve your best interest, not the community’s.
You had threads, Discord polls, hundreds of players giving feedback — and a lot of it got ignored. Why? Because listening to the competitive players doesn’t make you money. Adding new cosmetics, new bundles, and pushing subscriptions does.
Speaking of ignored feedback… players have been begging for a network-wide level leaderboard plus time-period leaderboards (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly resets) for years. Multiple suggestions dating back to 2021, 2023, 2024, and even fresh ones in late 2025 — all asking for the same thing: visible competition for total levels (to show dedication and grinding across all games) and reset boards to give everyone a fair shot at climbing, motivate daily/weekly play, and bring back that sense of progression and rivalry.
These aren't complicated or expensive features. Other servers have them. They drive engagement without paywalls. Yet nothing happens. I personally submitted a detailed suggestion for exactly this — a proper level LB in the lobby (top 50–100 spots) plus monthly/daily/weekly/yearly variants — and it sits there with 30+ agrees (likes/votes from the community showing real support). Still zero response, zero acknowledgment, no "we're looking into it," nothing. Just crickets.
This is the perfect example of the bigger problem: community ideas that would actually make the server more fun, competitive, and alive get buried while you roll out more paid bundles, lobby ads, and subscription perks. A level leaderboard would literally highlight players like me (the highest level) and encourage others to grind legitimately — but since it doesn't directly tie into revenue, it gets ignored. Same with time-period LBs: they'd spark short-term races, bring back old players, and keep casuals logging in daily. But no — priority goes to whatever sells the next cosmetic or forces another sub renewal.
And don’t get me started on the terrible anti-cheat.
It’s a joke. Hackers are flying, bhopping, and dominating EggWars queues every single day — especially in Teams of 4 — and your AC lets them run wild for weeks before a manual ban (if ever). Even when I report them with video proof and lose my win streak to a clear hacker, staff doesn't bother reviewing the clip or restoring my streak — legit grinders like me get punished twice for your broken system. Meanwhile, legit players get false kicked or banned for "anti-knockback" glitches or just playing aggressively. There are dozens of threads on the forums right now (like "Improve the Anti-Cheat" from Feb 2025, "Hackers" in EggWars from Oct 2025, and endless Reddit rants) with hundreds of reports, videos, and begs to upgrade it. Other servers like Hive actually catch cheaters and update their systems. You? Crickets. This isn’t just ruining games — it’s why competitive play is dead and player counts are tanking.
Even worse: snipers and alt accounts specifically targeting top players like me.
As the #1 in EggWars Teams of 4, I deal with this constantly — players jumping on alt accounts just to snipe me in queues, ruin my win streaks on purpose, waste my time, and get me mad enough to stop grinding. They join games solely to grief my progress, troll, or knock me out early so my streak resets. Your rules clearly ban using multiple accounts to gain an advantage or disrupt play, but there's zero real enforcement — no auto-detection for suspicious queue joins, no IP/LB monitoring for repeat snipers, nothing. Forums are full of complaints about stream sniping, alt bypassing to target dedicated players, and hackers using alts to harass top leaderboard people (like in threads saying "hackers snipe top players" and "they tend to snipe top players which are a crucial part of cubecraft’s community"). It drives veterans away because every session turns into frustration instead of fun competition. Yet staff ignores reports or takes forever, while these snipers keep coming back on fresh alts.
Bugs and glitches are everywhere and barely get fixed.
Beyond version update messes, the server is riddled with ongoing issues that ruin games daily: invisible players (a persistent visual bug where opponents appear completely invisible, often making it impossible to see/hit them or giving unfair advantages — reported in threads like "Invisible bug," "Invisibility Glitch in Cubecraft," and recent 2024–2025 clips showing hits from nowhere or invisible players in EggWars/SkyWars/BlockWars), ghost blocks (blocks that visually appear/disappear incorrectly, like phantom placements in SkyWars/EggWars from the Dec 2025 "Visual Bug: Ghost blocks" thread, or ghost bridging glitches that lead to unfair play and even wrongful bans). Hit registration fails (swings register no damage at low ping), crashes in modes like EggWars/SkyWars/BlockWars, chunk loading issues making maps unplayable, and random disconnects. Threads from 2025 pile up with screenshots/videos and dozens of likes, yet responses are slow or nonexistent. These aren't rare — they happen constantly, frustrate legit play, and push more people away when combined with everything else.
Performance is in the absolute gutter too, with severe lag, FPS drops, stuttering, and building delays plaguing Bedrock players especially after the GDK shift — games crash constantly, chunks fail to load, and mass disconnections wipe out entire lobbies during peaks (check threads like "massive disconnection issue and building lag" from May 2025 or "Cubecraft is crashing" from Nov 2025). Many blame poor optimization, resource pack overload, network handling during peaks, and ditching stable older UWP versions (like 1.21.114) for buggy GDK that tanks performance on mid/low-end devices — leading to crashes every few minutes, jittery camera panning, capped movement feel, and players straight-up quitting Bedrock sessions or the server because "it's unplayable" now. These aren't isolated; they compound with your version update messes and make grinding feel like fighting the server itself instead of opponents.
Another huge issue is the complete lack of a North American (NA) community presence or support. CubeCraft has essentially no NA-based staff, moderators, or team members — everything is run by EU folks, with the core team and most moderators based in Europe (UK, Netherlands, Scotland, etc.). That means during NA peak times (evenings/mornings in the US), there's basically no one actively managing the server, handling reports in real-time, or addressing issues when the bulk of NA players are online. Queues drag, moderation feels absent or delayed by hours due to timezone differences, and NA players end up feeling like second-class citizens on a network that's supposed to be global. You have NA servers in Canada, but without proper NA staff coverage, it doesn't help much with community management or quick fixes — it's a glaring oversight that's contributed to declining NA engagement and player retention.
Minecraft version updates are a total mess too — you handle them like amateurs.
Every time Mojang drops a new MC version, CubeCraft either delays support forever or yanks old ones way too fast, stranding players in buggy hell. Java? No more 1.8–1.20.x — forced to 1.21+ now, ruining the PvP feel veterans grinded for years. Bedrock? Dropped stable UWP like 1.21.114 in early 2026 for GDK trash that lags, drops frames, and crashes constantly — players begging to keep old versions for smooth play, but nah. Result? Massive disconnections mid-game, building lag where blocks vanish, FFA unplayable on big maps post-update — all documented in Feb/May 2025–Jan 2026 threads with 50+ likes and zero real fixes. Staff says "low player % on old versions" — but new ones tank performance and drive everyone away. Other servers smooth transitions; you cause player bleeds.
Speaking of money… the subscription system is the clearest proof of how greedy this has become.
You used to sell permanent ranks. People like me dropped hundreds of dollars over the years because we believed in the server. Now you’ve replaced that with monthly subscriptions, discontinued legacy ranks for new purchases, and slapped paywalls on basic features (map voting, private games, beta modes, etc.). Every time I log in I’m hit with another bundle, another “limited time offer,” another reminder that the server only values me if my credit card is active. They could've just raised the price on permanent ranks to match revenue needs, or better yet, let players choose: keep offering lifetime options alongside monthly subscriptions for flexibility. That way, dedicated players like me could commit long-term without feeling forced into endless renewals, while casuals stick to subs. Instead, you went all-in on subscriptions, making legacy ranks feel disposable and punishing loyalty.
You’re not subtle about it anymore. The lobby is basically an advertisement. New players get bombarded with paid perks while long-time players who already spent real money get told “sorry, that’s legacy now — subscribe or lose it.” That’s not how you treat a loyal community. That’s how you treat customers you’ve already milked dry.
And it's not just me feeling this — OG and well-known leaderboard players are straight-up quitting because of these exact problems. Long-time top players who built the server's rep, held records for years, and kept modes competitive are logging off for good or switching servers. Forums and chats are full of threads where veterans vent about hackers, snipers, no streak restores, greedy changes, bugs, and declining fun — leading to massive player drops (from 20k–30k peaks to 5k–15k now, with some days dipping lower). When the recognizable names on leaderboards start leaving, it kills motivation for everyone else and signals the server is in real trouble. These aren't casuals; they're the core community, and losing them accelerates the bleed-out.
And the worst part? You don’t listen.
There are entire subforums dedicated to feedback. Players post detailed suggestions, bug reports, balance ideas, anti-cheat pleas, sniper complaints, version update disasters — most sit at zero replies from staff. When you do respond, it’s usually a generic “we’ll look into it” or “this is intended.” Meanwhile the player count keeps dropping — from 20k–30k peaks down to 5k–15k on a good day. You can see the numbers yourselves.
You focus on flashy new stuff that casuals might buy, while the veterans and competitive players who built this server’s reputation are treated like background noise. You added more ways to spend money than ways to actually improve the games we play every day. Moderation feels inconsistent and sometimes biased. And when the community screams that anti-cheat sucks, snipers kill streaks, bugs break games, or version updates ruin everything, you answer by… adding more BedWars maps or ignoring the threads entirely?
I’m not saying you hate us. I’m saying you’ve stopped seeing us.
You see dollar signs. You see metrics. You see “how do we keep the server running?” — but the answer isn’t more subscriptions and more forced updates. The answer is listening to the people who have been here the longest and care the most.
I’m still here. I’m still grinding. But I’m exhausted watching the server I love slowly bleed out because the people in charge refuse to admit they got it wrong on multiple big decisions — or even add the easy wins like leaderboards, real anti-cheat, sniper protection, bug fixes, and smooth version handling that the community has supported for years.
So here’s my message, loud and clear:
Add the level leaderboard (network-wide, visible in lobby) and time-period LBs (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly) that we've requested for literal years — my suggestion with 30+ agrees is right there waiting.
Overhaul the anti-cheat: Catch real hackers, stop false bans, actually respond to reports, and restore winstreaks lost to confirmed cheaters.
Crack down on snipers and alt accounts: Enforce rules against using alts to target/grief top players, add better detection for queue sniping, and protect legit streaks from intentional disruption.
Handle MC version updates properly: Support older stable versions longer, fix lag/disconnects/bugs in new ones fast — no more forcing broken GDK or dropping 1.8–1.20.x.
Fix persistent bugs and glitches across modes (invisible players, ghost blocks, hit reg fails, crashes, etc.) with faster responses to forum reports.
Stop treating permanent purchases like they’re disposable.
Actually read, respond to, and implement community feedback instead of letting it die in the forums.
Prioritize fixing the core games over pushing more cosmetics and subscriptions.
If you keep going down this path — adding things that only serve your revenue goals while ignoring what the players actually want — more and more of us are going to leave. And once the veterans and top players are gone, the new players won’t stick around either.
I’m not quitting today. But I’m close. A lot of us are.
Fix this before it’s too late.

about sentinel im pretty sure they arent allowed to tell us what or how they are improving it as it would allow cheaters to adapt faster and get away with cheating

That makes a lot of sense but I was more talking about just feedback on what problem they're trying to solve, not how they're exactly going about developing sentinel if that makes sense. I don't expect an anticheat to detect more than the obvious hackers who turn up their fly/kill aura/speed all the way. However based on my experience sentinel has not been consistently doing that like I've seen it do in the past. There's been several times in the past week where I've seen 3-4 kill aura hackers in the same FFA lobby. I've /sr all of them but never once got a notification saying they were banned by sentinel. Which is weird because that is exactly what anticheats are supposed to do, detect the extremely obvious hackers. It would just be nice to hear from an admin like "hey, we're working on trying to make sentinel better at detecting hackers, please give us time to do this" for example. It just makes the game nearly unplayable and I feel like it should be common sense for it to be something that is very high priority. Just a little more proof that they're actually working on stuff like this instead of an admin somewhere deep in the forums saying that "we're working on it" would be nice

Most likely to disagree and combat each of the points made and then lock it to prevent further discussion.

I get why you’re frustrated. When someone spends thousands of hours on the server and cares a lot about competition and grinding, it’s normal to feel upset when things like hackers, bugs, or ignored suggestions start affecting the experience. Some of the points you mentioned, like anti-cheat improvements, bug fixes, and better communication on forum feedback, are things a lot of players would probably like to see improved.
At the same time though, posts like this can come across very aggressive toward the staff. Running a large network like CubeCraft is complicated, and not every suggestion or issue can be fixed immediately. Development priorities, technical limitations, and resources all affect what the team can work on.
Your ideas like a network-wide level leaderboard or better competitive features could definitely be interesting, and it would be nice to see more responses to community feedback in general. Hopefully the team does read posts like this and takes the constructive parts into consideration.
In the end most people giving feedback are doing it because they care about the server and want it to improve. It’s better if the conversation stays focused on solutions and ideas rather than turning into accusations, because that usually leads to better discussions and results.

My name is charxzz. For anyone who doesn’t know me, I’m the highest level player on the entire CubeCraft network and the #1 in EggWars Teams of 4. I’ve been here for years. I’ve grinded through every meta, every update. I’ve poured thousands of hours into this server, and I’ve watched it grow from a small community into one of the biggest Minecraft networks in the world.
But right now, I’m done staying quiet.

Speaking of ignored feedback… players have been begging for a network-wide level leaderboard plus time-period leaderboards (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly resets) for years. Multiple suggestions dating back to 2021, 2023, 2024, and even fresh ones in late 2025 — all asking for the same thing: visible competition for total levels (to show dedication and grinding across all games) and reset boards to give everyone a fair shot at climbing, motivate daily/weekly play, and bring back that sense of progression and rivalry.
These aren't complicated or expensive features. Other servers have them. They drive engagement without paywalls. Yet nothing happens. I personally submitted a detailed suggestion for exactly this — a proper level LB in the lobby (top 50–100 spots) plus monthly/daily/weekly/yearly variants — and it sits there with 30+ agrees (likes/votes from the community showing real support). Still zero response, zero acknowledgment, no "we're looking into it," nothing. Just crickets.
This is the perfect example of the bigger problem: community ideas that would actually make the server more fun, competitive, and alive get buried while you roll out more paid bundles, lobby ads, and subscription perks. A level leaderboard would literally highlight players like me (the highest level) and encourage others to grind legitimately — but since it doesn't directly tie into revenue, it gets ignored. Same with time-period LBs: they'd spark short-term races, bring back old players, and keep casuals logging in daily. But no — priority goes to whatever sells the next cosmetic or forces another sub renewal.
And don’t get me started on the terrible anti-cheat.
It’s a joke. Hackers are flying, bhopping, and dominating EggWars queues every single day — especially in Teams of 4 — and your AC lets them run wild for weeks before a manual ban (if ever). Even when I report them with video proof and lose my win streak to a clear hacker, staff doesn't bother reviewing the clip or restoring my streak — legit grinders like me get punished twice for your broken system. Meanwhile, legit players get false kicked or banned for "anti-knockback" glitches or just playing aggressively. There are dozens of threads on the forums right now (like "Improve the Anti-Cheat" from Feb 2025, "Hackers" in EggWars from Oct 2025, and endless Reddit rants) with hundreds of reports, videos, and begs to upgrade it. Other servers like Hive actually catch cheaters and update their systems. You? Crickets. This isn’t just ruining games — it’s why competitive play is dead and player counts are tanking.
Even worse: snipers and alt accounts specifically targeting top players like me.
As the #1 in EggWars Teams of 4, I deal with this constantly — players jumping on alt accounts just to snipe me in queues, ruin my win streaks on purpose, waste my time, and get me mad enough to stop grinding. They join games solely to grief my progress, troll, or knock me out early so my streak resets. Your rules clearly ban using multiple accounts to gain an advantage or disrupt play, but there's zero real enforcement — no auto-detection for suspicious queue joins, no IP/LB monitoring for repeat snipers, nothing. Forums are full of complaints about stream sniping, alt bypassing to target dedicated players, and hackers using alts to harass top leaderboard people (like in threads saying "hackers snipe top players" and "they tend to snipe top players which are a crucial part of cubecraft’s community"). It drives veterans away because every session turns into frustration instead of fun competition. Yet staff ignores reports or takes forever, while these snipers keep coming back on fresh alts.
Bugs and glitches are everywhere and barely get fixed.
Beyond version update messes, the server is riddled with ongoing issues that ruin games daily: invisible players (a persistent visual bug where opponents appear completely invisible, often making it impossible to see/hit them or giving unfair advantages — reported in threads like "Invisible bug," "Invisibility Glitch in Cubecraft," and recent 2024–2025 clips showing hits from nowhere or invisible players in EggWars/SkyWars/BlockWars), ghost blocks (blocks that visually appear/disappear incorrectly, like phantom placements in SkyWars/EggWars from the Dec 2025 "Visual Bug: Ghost blocks" thread, or ghost bridging glitches that lead to unfair play and even wrongful bans). Hit registration fails (swings register no damage at low ping), crashes in modes like EggWars/SkyWars/BlockWars, chunk loading issues making maps unplayable, and random disconnects. Threads from 2025 pile up with screenshots/videos and dozens of likes, yet responses are slow or nonexistent. These aren't rare — they happen constantly, frustrate legit play, and push more people away when combined with everything else.
Performance is in the absolute gutter too, with severe lag, FPS drops, stuttering, and building delays plaguing Bedrock players especially after the GDK shift — games crash constantly, chunks fail to load, and mass disconnections wipe out entire lobbies during peaks (check threads like "massive disconnection issue and building lag" from May 2025 or "Cubecraft is crashing" from Nov 2025). Many blame poor optimization, resource pack overload, network handling during peaks, and ditching stable older UWP versions (like 1.21.114) for buggy GDK that tanks performance on mid/low-end devices — leading to crashes every few minutes, jittery camera panning, capped movement feel, and players straight-up quitting Bedrock sessions or the server because "it's unplayable" now. These aren't isolated; they compound with your version update messes and make grinding feel like fighting the server itself instead of opponents.
Another huge issue is the complete lack of a North American (NA) community presence or support. CubeCraft has essentially no NA-based staff, moderators, or team members — everything is run by EU folks, with the core team and most moderators based in Europe (UK, Netherlands, Scotland, etc.). That means during NA peak times (evenings/mornings in the US), there's basically no one actively managing the server, handling reports in real-time, or addressing issues when the bulk of NA players are online. Queues drag, moderation feels absent or delayed by hours due to timezone differences, and NA players end up feeling like second-class citizens on a network that's supposed to be global. You have NA servers in Canada, but without proper NA staff coverage, it doesn't help much with community management or quick fixes — it's a glaring oversight that's contributed to declining NA engagement and player retention.
Minecraft version updates are a total mess too — you handle them like amateurs.
Every time Mojang drops a new MC version, CubeCraft either delays support forever or yanks old ones way too fast, stranding players in buggy hell. Java? No more 1.8–1.20.x — forced to 1.21+ now, ruining the PvP feel veterans grinded for years. Bedrock? Dropped stable UWP like 1.21.114 in early 2026 for GDK trash that lags, drops frames, and crashes constantly — players begging to keep old versions for smooth play, but nah. Result? Massive disconnections mid-game, building lag where blocks vanish, FFA unplayable on big maps post-update — all documented in Feb/May 2025–Jan 2026 threads with 50+ likes and zero real fixes. Staff says "low player % on old versions" — but new ones tank performance and drive everyone away. Other servers smooth transitions; you cause player bleeds.
Speaking of money… the subscription system is the clearest proof of how greedy this has become.
You used to sell permanent ranks. People like me dropped hundreds of dollars over the years because we believed in the server. Now you’ve replaced that with monthly subscriptions, discontinued legacy ranks for new purchases, and slapped paywalls on basic features (map voting, private games, beta modes, etc.). Every time I log in I’m hit with another bundle, another “limited time offer,” another reminder that the server only values me if my credit card is active. They could've just raised the price on permanent ranks to match revenue needs, or better yet, let players choose: keep offering lifetime options alongside monthly subscriptions for flexibility. That way, dedicated players like me could commit long-term without feeling forced into endless renewals, while casuals stick to subs. Instead, you went all-in on subscriptions, making legacy ranks feel disposable and punishing loyalty.
You’re not subtle about it anymore. The lobby is basically an advertisement. New players get bombarded with paid perks while long-time players who already spent real money get told “sorry, that’s legacy now — subscribe or lose it.” That’s not how you treat a loyal community. That’s how you treat customers you’ve already milked dry.
And it's not just me feeling this — OG and well-known leaderboard players are straight-up quitting because of these exact problems. Long-time top players who built the server's rep, held records for years, and kept modes competitive are logging off for good or switching servers. Forums and chats are full of threads where veterans vent about hackers, snipers, no streak restores, greedy changes, bugs, and declining fun — leading to massive player drops (from 20k–30k peaks to 5k–15k now, with some days dipping lower). When the recognizable names on leaderboards start leaving, it kills motivation for everyone else and signals the server is in real trouble. These aren't casuals; they're the core community, and losing them accelerates the bleed-out.
And the worst part? You don’t listen.
There are entire subforums dedicated to feedback. Players post detailed suggestions, bug reports, balance ideas, anti-cheat pleas, sniper complaints, version update disasters — most sit at zero replies from staff. When you do respond, it’s usually a generic “we’ll look into it” or “this is intended.” Meanwhile the player count keeps dropping — from 20k–30k peaks down to 5k–15k on a good day. You can see the numbers yourselves.
You focus on flashy new stuff that casuals might buy, while the veterans and competitive players who built this server’s reputation are treated like background noise. You added more ways to spend money than ways to actually improve the games we play every day. Moderation feels inconsistent and sometimes biased. And when the community screams that anti-cheat sucks, snipers kill streaks, bugs break games, or version updates ruin everything, you answer by… adding more BedWars maps or ignoring the threads entirely?
I’m not saying you hate us. I’m saying you’ve stopped seeing us.
You see dollar signs. You see metrics. You see “how do we keep the server running?” — but the answer isn’t more subscriptions and more forced updates. The answer is listening to the people who have been here the longest and care the most.
I’m still here. I’m still grinding. But I’m exhausted watching the server I love slowly bleed out because the people in charge refuse to admit they got it wrong on multiple big decisions — or even add the easy wins like leaderboards, real anti-cheat, sniper protection, bug fixes, and smooth version handling that the community has supported for years.
So here’s my message, loud and clear:
Add the level leaderboard (network-wide, visible in lobby) and time-period LBs (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly) that we've requested for literal years — my suggestion with 30+ agrees is right there waiting.
Overhaul the anti-cheat: Catch real hackers, stop false bans, actually respond to reports, and restore winstreaks lost to confirmed cheaters.
Crack down on snipers and alt accounts: Enforce rules against using alts to target/grief top players, add better detection for queue sniping, and protect legit streaks from intentional disruption.
Handle MC version updates properly: Support older stable versions longer, fix lag/disconnects/bugs in new ones fast — no more forcing broken GDK or dropping 1.8–1.20.x.
Fix persistent bugs and glitches across modes (invisible players, ghost blocks, hit reg fails, crashes, etc.) with faster responses to forum reports.
Stop treating permanent purchases like they’re disposable.
Actually read, respond to, and implement community feedback instead of letting it die in the forums.
Prioritize fixing the core games over pushing more cosmetics and subscriptions.
If you keep going down this path — adding things that only serve your revenue goals while ignoring what the players actually want — more and more of us are going to leave. And once the veterans and top players are gone, the new players won’t stick around either.
I’m not quitting today. But I’m close. A lot of us are.
Fix this before it’s too late.

I have quit Cubecraft because of the bad anticheat and moderation, a lot of other people will leave.

If I was an admin or a staff member on a Minecraft server and 83.1% of the people voted ‘Yes’ to the question: ‘Is Cubecraft staff failing their server?’ I would take action ASAP. But none of this happens, only 1(!) moderator took the time to respond to this. It’s sad to see that nobody cares anymore.

Crazy, the server is a Minecraft partner and +15k players every days but they don't care, not a single admin has reacted. They probably see Cubecraft as a money making machine and nothing more

I agree, like if cubecraft didnt do all this, i would have still played.

As a fellow Eggwars Squad leaderboard player, I share your concerns and frustrations with Cubecraft. Cubecraft’s popularity is dying, and there are so many issues occurring on the server.

Firstly, Cubecraft is becoming greedy and doesn’t care about its playerbase. All it cares about is pumping out stupid, cash-grab bundles to sell to little kids. The lobbies that were once places of communities have been turned into marketplaces filled with adds. There are so many adds in the lobbies that it causes lag to players on lower-end devices. If this isn’t the peak of greediness, I don’t know what is. Additionally, whenever you decide to queue a game on Cubecraft, there's an item that takes you to the marketplace to buy a rank. Many other players and I accidentally click on this when we are trying to requeue a game. I can’t help but think of this as intentional. It’s made like that to shove advertisements down your throat constantly. Furthermore, a couple of months ago, Cubecraft removed permanent ranks and added subscriptions. This decision reflects a deeper societal issue going on in our world of being able to own nothing. Now, new players are left with no other choice but to rent ranks and pay more to access the same features that older players got for free. Renting stuff that was once permanent always negatively hurts the consumer and only benefits the company.

Cubecraft is riddled with many issues. The chunk glitch, a bug in which chunks don’t load, still occurs after being known for months. The only fix to this is relogging, which is annoying to do as it occurs often during sessions. This bug has also falsely banned many players for hitting players stuck in chunks. Cubecraft knows about this glitch, yet they choose not to patch it. Another problem with Cubecraft is the massive presence of alts and bypassing. For some reason, Cubecraft doesn’t ip ban repeated offenders. These cheaters will hop on alts after you get them banned and continue to cheat. The worst part of this is that they target leaderboard players like me as they want to ruin our win streaks and make us frustrated. We report them. They get banned and hop onto a new account in a few hours. It also doesn’t help that Sentinel is useless, as I typically encounter at least one hacker per grinding session, which is outrageous. This includes blatant hacks like fly, which, for some reason, the anticheat doesn’t seem to ban.

Thirdly, instead of listening to the community and fixing these issues, Cubecraft just releases new bundles to sell to kids. They don’t care about their server until they start losing money. The only time they listen to the community nowadays is when they want bundle ideas, but that is it. @charxzzzz wrote a suggestion that got many agreements; however, not a single admin responded to it. The Cubecraft administration had grown out of touch with the community and only care about pumping out more bundles for maximum profits.

TLDR
Cubecraft only cares about pumping out bundles and making money. They have grown disconnected from the community and need to be reconnected. I love Cubecraft, and I truly want the best for it. I just wish that Cubecraft started to care more about its community.

@FictionWhisperer , I’d always like to hear your opinion, as you immediately attacked my friend for using AI and have been disagreeing with everyone else. I believe it’s valuable to hear everyone’s side, and I’d love to hear why you support the Cubecraft staff despite their past actions and inactions.

Ok. Let's dispell a few myths here. "CubeCraft is only interested in money" - Yes, this is true, ofc it is, they are a business. Businessmen want to make money. Let's not forget this; the owners want money, money from profit, it's not a charity, it's not a hobby, its a business. "The Mods don't care" - well, also true. But in their defence, they arnt paid. They volunteer their time and there is only so much "free" care or time one is prepared to give. Now, the subscription model- perfectly sound business model, guaranteed (ish) income rather than ad hoc income from bundles. Easier to project profit levels. Sentinel- hack clients move faster and are more abundant than a hand full of developers can cope with. They don't pay for more mods or even pay existing mods. Why? Well why pay for something you can get for free. Does Cube really want rid of anyone who cheats? Ofc not! Why would they? It's not good for business to remove them and it would cost too much. More cost, less profit. It's a business. Look at how many people commented or liked / disliked the original post versus total player count. It's NOT a major business issue, therefore don't fix something that isn't broken. LB players like me are also not good for business. Why? Because we don't spend money. Cubes move to subscription model and flooding the lobby with ads is focused on new players. Because that's where the money comes from. It's a business and ten sheep are better than one Wolf.


The problem?

A business dependant on fans is a fragile thing.

Without fans there is no business

I strongly agree with everything you said.

I used to grind EggWars constantly, but I haven’t played it in over two years because of the exact issues you mentioned — hackers, weak anti-cheat, snipers, and the lack of real competitive support. And now it’s been six months since I’ve even logged into CubeCraft at all.

After I quit EggWars, I switched to FFA, and at the time I honestly felt like it was much better than EggWars in terms of fun and competition. But over time, Full hacks started appearing way more frequently — nothing like how it used to be. Now you join a match and it’s obvious when someone is running full hacks. That doesn’t just happen randomly. It shows clear neglect from the administration when it comes to maintaining and improving the anti-cheat.

And here’s the most frustrating part:

If someone is using “l” hacks and trying to hide it, and you record them and submit a report, what’s the usual response?

“Insufficient evidence.”

So legitimate players lose their games, lose their streaks, waste their time — and in the end, nothing happens unless the hacker is being blatantly obvious.

At this point, it’s not just isolated incidents. It’s a pattern. And that’s why so many players leave quietly without saying anything.

I can understand why that would be frustrating. When players spend a lot of time grinding a mode like EggWars or FFA, running into hackers or feeling like reports don’t lead to anything can really ruin the motivation to keep playing. Losing games or streaks because of something like that definitely doesn’t feel fair.


At the same time, anti-cheat systems and report reviews can be difficult to handle perfectly, especially when players try to hide cheats or when evidence isn’t completely clear. That doesn’t mean the concerns players raise aren’t valid though. If multiple people are experiencing the same issues, it’s something that’s worth looking into and improving over time.


Hopefully the team continues working on improving detection and moderation, because keeping games fair is one of the most important things for competitive modes. A lot of players just want to enjoy the games without feeling like they’re fighting against cheaters instead of other players.

yet apart from the AI being used he makes a pretty valid point

 

[jovialisland45]

agreed 100%, i practically grew up playing cubecraft although now i have quit gaming for most of the part, this server has died due to the lack of care for the community. They basically destroyed the competitive community( clan vs clan, scrims) and destroyed the youtube community. Not suprised at all.

 

[Ruisedeer]

I was a loyal player on the server for 10 years. I've witnessed the gradual ens***tification first hand. The subscription ranks were the final straw for me, I wrapped up a few things I still wanted to achieve and then pulled the plug.

Alas
