    Fan Club making a bunch of good builds on the server is actually really neat, shame nobody at Mojang ever noticed
  • @Mr_Aragon
    Mojang's next update: -Removed griefing -Added Anti-Cheat -Removed Herobrine
  • Half expected FitMC to start monologuing part way into this video.
  • @2b2tCommunity
    Imagine getting griefed by your own players that purchased YOUR game, feels bad man.
  • To be fair about Mojang having a modded server, some employees were formerly Minecraft fans who modded the game, like Kingbdogz. Not only that, browsing through modded content would allow the developers to skim through what ideas the community has for the game, and pick out the ones they like the best.

    Our personal server actually got joined by a few questionable people and my pal who runs it had NO clue these scanning tools exist. Luckily nothing was destroyed but four different people joined over the course of a couple months lol

    Love how the fifth column guy literally said "come join us on our new smp" to Sal, talking about the mojang server.
  • @EnoEso
    i love when people exploit games without malicious intent just to show people what can be done with it, shame it doesn't happen more often because it feels so much more impressive
  • tl;dr mojang spun up a server SUPER quick and made a baby parkour course, filmed a video, and then forgot to take it down. Eventually people found and griefed it until someone else reminded Mojang it even exists
  • Fun fact. The IP you showed at 1:18 is a version 6 one. In this version it would at least take 2^64 scans to find a server, pretty much impossible. But they used a version 4 one so it was easily scan-able on the internet.
  • @anracc5302
    i love that "the fifth column" gave themselves such a cool hacker-esque name when what they do is completely technically uninteresting
  • Being a dev doesn't necessarily mean you are good at your own game. Although I would somewhat expect them to choose some of the better players on the team.
  • @Fa1seP0sitive
    Mojang could fix this scanning issue simply by adding a "Do not broadcast" option for servers where they do not return the Motd or player count
  • @fritztorchesmc
    I sometimes wonder how bad can the security of Mojang be at times.
  • @blu2211
    Minecraft griefers will quite literally compromise your internet safety just so they can break a few blocks in your minecraft world
  • @spikrib
    The thing that bothers me is that people will bash game developers for being bad at our own game. Just because we make it doesn’t mean we’re good at it. We made the mechanic we don’t automatically come prepackaged with the muscle memory and skill to beat what we make. We’re usually busy working on it anyways so
  • @tomate-dev
    I think the mojang employes only had a touchpad and not a mouse. At least that would explain their bad gameplay
  • @dalipoc1664
    damn sal's editing is getting much more stylized
  • @emirturkmen4524
    Mojang playing their own game on a modded server is just amazing
  • @TastelessCub797
    I really hope Mojang contacts Fan Club to build things for short videos like the one made in that server. Some people are just phenomenal builders.
