That's not fair Sled, we all know you're gonna win at this

The easiest way is to use a modpack from a launcher like Feed the Beast ( https://www.feed-the-beast.com/ ). If you don't want a whole modpack but just want a few mods, I'm not sure what the current way is.

*Fake Edit: The Minecraft wiki has a decent page on this, maybe this will help: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Mods/Installing_Forge_mods

Awesome post! Hopefully, we can compile some good information here! If I may, I'd like to share some things I've learned over 7 years (yes I'm old, don't remind me ) of moderating and administrating online communities.

1) One thing to keep in mind with the Restorative Approach, and fiery events and arguments in general, is that it's always better to let everyone calm down a bit before a situation can begin to be resolved. This gives everyone time to be able to think about things more rationally, and a higher chance of a successful outcome. Point being, don't be too quick to write off a situation as a lost cause and know that you may have to force participants to take some time to cool off.

2) Don't be afraid of making mistakes! We all take the wrong action now and again, but don't let that stop you from taking action in a situation. What matters is acknowledging the mistake was made and attempting to fix it, even if all you can do is say "hey <name>, the action I took was inappropriate for the situation, and I apologize". Try not to let other's criticisms bother you; rather, use it to learn from for next time.

Learning how to handle situations takes time and practice, and you can only learn by doing. It's time for me to get off my soapbox now, lol. I hope people can find this helpful.

Excellent implementation! I really hope this cuts down on the spam you get.

Usually, people have a specific moving pattern since the auto clicker can only be set to do a movement or movements depending on how you program it. Swirlie and I once caught a guy auto clicking by moving back and forth perfectly every time for I would say a good hour. He admitted to doing so.

Huh, interesting. I just assumed it would be set to click on a non-interactive element, so they wouldn't move. TIL.

Every time @Sleed or @Damen gets on, half the room crowds them and asks for stuff back. On top of that, people are always going to Sled on Discord for the same thing. What if there was a better way?

What about a form that the admins or whoever else could process whenever they got a moment? Then, just make people fill out the form. No form, no items. Would that work? I guess the main thing is if the recipient has to be online to get the items. The idea is to both cut down on needless messaging and have an organized record of who needs what instead of having to try to read a million chat bubbles.

not sure why autoclicking is allowed, i see no benefits to the server, only player benefits

I think it's the point that there's really no accurate way to detect it happening, which makes enforcement kind of impossible.

this. but also some people like forgs have WAYYYYYY too much HP so they're very hard to kill. its unfair to everyone else trying to play the game

Yeah, the health thing has got to go. It's just insane.

At the very least, they should probably be nerfed somehow. There seems to have been significant power creep regarding player health and weapon damage, so a change to Force abilities in any way will also likely have to cause those to be adjusted. (See Hashir's topic on all this)

How? All he said was "they're abusing force push" and what the hell? Going evil gets you BOS?

Nice job leaving out the entire rest of the story, including attack people three days in a row after being told not to as an unban condition.

I vote he auto loses if he doesn't show up.

How would you even detect someone using an autoclicker?
