Hardcore YouTubers are Cheating... 

"MOM! I made the thumbnail!"

Usually, I hate reacts channels because they often put in minimal effort and use another people's videos to make money in a way that won't get them demonetized, but with SB's reaction channel, it's completely different, he talks about his own feelings, his own experiences, and most importantly, talking about the topic in advance. not just "reacting" to a video like almost all other reaction channels do. Great job SB!

I'm very glad that my video wasn't seen as an attack, it's a tough issue to talk about without making people angry. In all reality, I never expected the video to do as well as it did. It's ultimately nothing more than a glorified channel update. I was just announcing my hardcore series to the 2 thousand subscribers that I had at the time and that was it. As for my skill issue: SB is right, I'm not super great at the game yet, but that's kind of the point of this upcoming series. Plus, it seems he missed the price per death, so he doesn't know what's at stake. (Also, he mentioned totems make it nearly impossible to die, I wonder what a hardcore series would look like if you couldn't use totems...?)

As someone who has previously watched the source video, nice to see SB giving his view on the topic

As an sb fan I trust him and wunba to never fake their hardcore series

The first method to figure “Open to lan” wouldn’t work if the RU-vidr is smart enough to just leave the world and come back. It resets the “open to lan”.

Me who takes 500 days to beat the enderdragon

2:02 - 2:07 makes me smile so much The way SBs face lights up when he sees he is in the video even though it was expected because he was in the thumbnail Makes my day! ♡♡♡

I love how you kept predicting exactly what I was about to say next 😂

Most of the time, I see reacts talking over the video while watching it. But SB pauses it to talk which makes me pay more attention to him, keep improving SB, you’re amazing

Regarding 'Open to LAN', that doesn't mean someone's cheating. Someone might launch a LAN server to get their camera account. Also if we reset to survival in LAN server, close and reopen the world, server is turned off and game pauses. Also cheats/commands are no longer available until start the server again.

SB: It's rare that I've come close to death now in my hardcore world That one Warden: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

13:39 Back-up is both a savior of your hard-worked world from corrupting and the easiest and cleanest way to cheat and nobody's gonna know. 15:07 The good thing about this is you only need to enter the bed (without sleeping). That way you don't skip any of your days while simultaneously prevent phantom from spawning.

Another thing that can happen is if they do F3-D, it clears the chat log which can be somewhat useful for cheating as well.

The fact that sb reacts to this is because he knows hes not cheating. Incredible

Just FYI, the pause thing isn't a surefire way to detect a cheater. When I used to play on the Switch, it drove me crazy that absolutely nothing paused the game. If I needed to take a leak, I had to box myself in because even going to the Switch menu did not pause the game.

Another method to detect if someone died in their Hardcore world is the statistics menu. You can see all the mobs that you have killed and the mobs that have killed you as well as the last time you died, so either they have to willingly open their stats menu or you need their stats uuid file. But if they know how to change their stats (which is pretty simple) they can get away with it, but most people forget that the stats menu even exists so theres a chance to detect a cheater. Also if you relog after you open to lan, the lan is closed so you cant detect a cheater using lan if they just relog and cotinue recording.

8:35 its actually so easy to go into your saves folder and edit your statistics. Even if a hardcore youtuber shows their stats (which never happens) they could've easily been redone in less than 5 minutes to hide any deaths, reset time since death, etc

Sb's next video is gonna be something like playing harcore minecraft for 50 hours straight

SB is such a nice person

Sb will never cheat cuase hes built different and the goat 🐐

SB handled this very responsibly, good job 👍

SB: "Oh there's me!" 😂😂😂

The excitement this man gets from seeing himself in another persons video is funny I hope many children find your channel like I did back when I was younger and you only had 10-20k subscribers

Another way you can fake is if you die with a certain xp level and then when you pick up the items the xp will always be lower

I don't play hardcore, but there are other ways to get a hardcore world back without opening to LAN. If you have a nbt editor, you just need to flip the hardcore bit to false and open up the world. Then you can flip it back to true to make it hardcore again. It's also possible to play with the settings to eliminate the number of deaths that have occurred. I used the bit trick to see if I could create a peaceful mode hardcore world and it worked perfectly.

2:01 Haha he looks so happy when he saw himself

You know a Reacts vid is good when the vid time is doubled the actual vid

I'm not really sure if you can count the pause menu thing as cheating as some people run their world off of a server so they can film their hardcore progress on seperate locations, like maybe like you they have a studio or something and don't want to risk corrupting the file by moving it around too much on a HDD/SSD but it's still something to keep in mind. I think a better way is to look if the person has multiple hardcore videos and if the world doesn't pause in one video but it does in another then the chance it's being cheated on is higher.

I usually skip the episode where they make a raid farm. It gives them an insane amount of totems of undying. With no real effort put into them. And as long as they don’t fall into the void. With out a way out they can’t die. Or die from one of the bosses “accidentally”.

the only hard part about hardcore is trying to have fun after the 500th day

Sb does so much for us viewer, let’s appreciate it! 🤩

I Love these reaction videos keep it up SB ❤

I love how a huge RU-vidr like SB goes 'Look it's me!' to his 100 days video in a much smaller RU-vidr's video

I think for the haters in your next hardcore video you should show the day counter

I’ve seen wunba fake a video before. In one where he was with his friends trying to get every advancement in 100 days. He was flying with f3 open and had the days blurred out. He probably could have gotten away with it better even not blurring it rather than drawing attention to it.

Show us a compass in 7100 days to prove you haven’t died.

The amount of 100 days videos i’ve seen where they have for example “For days 1-25 i collected some wood” which are just complete garbage, it’s annoying

The problem with your LAN detection is that they can open to LAN, start a LAN world, and turn into survival easily- but can leave and come back to reset it. They will still be in survival, and leave no trace.

genuine reaction video, I actually gained value out of this for once! This is the right kind of reaction content.

before the video I really thought this was about people using schematics that let you make hard builds easily (blocks place without having to look in the direction etc.)

Not feeling called out at all xD 60 days haven't entered the nether yet lol

I lost my first couple hardcore worlds and felt gutted. It makes me feel better to know that people probably embellished a bit in their attempts, maybe I'll be more confident next time haha

the way this reaction channel is built is the difference between sniperwolf and actual entertainment

We want a 100 days without sleeping irl

Most of the Hardcore Series are for entertainment, so if you even cheat but the video is super entertaining then i don't think it really matters.

I'm guilty of doing Minecraft Hardcore videos myself, and I want to say that creating backups is really essential for so many reasons. Once, while playing Minecraft, my computer run out of storage space and crushed. My world got corrupted and all the achievements and statistics were gone. Thanks to backup, I could restore it, but since backup wasn't very recent, there is still a chunk of progress that I am unfortunately missing. So I would say that backup is important not only for people who make a content, but also for the private worlds if you don't want to lose it because of software error rather than your skill. And yes, Hardcore is extremely easy once you have totems and mob switch. There are some incredibly easy raid farms you can build (almost) on day 1. And having warden switch makes the world basically peaceful lol So cheating is actualy not needed as you don't even get close to death even if your skills are below average (like mine lol)

To your ways to detect open to lan: 1. Game not paused if open to lan is used: This happens only if the game is currently open to lan. If they rejoin the world, it's back to normal. 2. Compass or statistics: Someone can just edit the nbt data to delete those things before sharing the world

I love how he just says, " yo that's me!"

Hello SB737! Love your videos please do an IRL video of you hand delivering the 7000 days poster! I would love to watch it! Please reply

honestly vexes and the warden are the most probable to kill you in hardcore but brutes and vindicators too but ngl dying in hardcore be a skill issue

If he doesn't pull off the 40 hours sleepless u have to do it

jerome is cutting corners but his tos/tos2 and "another day another shellshock" videos are great

When I play harccore I refuse to use totems and elytra, cause it makes the survival part of Minecract and the point of hardcore not exist

you always seem to find a wat to entertain me

“Say my computer just blew up” 😂😂😂😂

I know that aCookieGod cheats because in every video when he goes to bed he gets an actionbar that says "Sleeping Through This Night"

i cant wait to get the poster delivered, should be here in around 2 weeks! edit: just had this idea when you were talking about dreams drop rate thing. what if you could smelt gold into pure gold which is about as strong as chainmail armor and stone weapons, and you could trade it with piglins to get 2x the loot/better loot

They can create Lan world and just leave and it‘s back to normal

17:14 If SB737 can record and upload it then it might become a world record

Wow How does SB do all these amazing minecraft feats ?! *SB: I'm Built Different

Now *this* is a reacts channel.

You can make the open to lan thing 100% undetectable by using mca selector or whatever its called to alter the world file and you can just rejoin and the lan will be closed again

NOTIGANG

Thanks sb for the friend of foe poster. realy apriciated it man. Keep up the hard work❤

SB can easily beat the Ender Dragon in 20 days in Minecraft hardcore... and then there's me and my bestie who took 441 days to beat the dragon in survival mode😭😭

Love your vids

The problem with "open to LAN" cheat detections is, that you can leave the game after you are done and just join back in and it would not be LAN anymore and behaves like a normal single player world

another way you can tell if someone opened it to lan is if "open to lan" isn't there but "player reporting" is then they have a lan world open

Thanks sb, one more way is that if they open escape menu then it show report player instead of open to LAN

Show the player stats, they never lie. It will show total deaths in the world. Unless you altered them but that is very hard to do.

Sandiction didn't cheat. And we know that cause he DIED a

Creating a back up of the world is a really good feature in the game

SB doesnt cheat, its a fact. He is a honest and a true minecraft veteran who is just godly at the game.

Wassup sb!

Just for your knowledge, Dream didn’t fake any of his manhunts, he cheated on his world record speedrun by making piglins drop more ender pearls

I loved when he said " you know me guys I'm build different" and then laughed

The problem about detecting open to lan is that when you save an quit and then join back it reverts it

HI ❤❤🎉

Hello

SB would never cheat!!

I cannot get this topic off my mind: Minecraft hardcore totemless

DONT BRNG COOKIE GOD INTO THIS

First

Video: trying to take out his carrier SB: oh! hey there's me! :D

I liked my own comment

I think every since SB built the first diamond mining machine he has had a near death experience every episode he uses it

"not a real minecraft hardcore world" he says. "just a test world" - The enchanted diamond just sitting at the bottom.

There's me! i'm in the video! so cute lmao

I just finished your uncut video and it was great

Unfortunately, after leaving the game and re-entering, the pause system not working (after opening to Lan) will be fixed, and all the commands are saved

I believe a way to counter LAN worlds pausing is to leave the game and join again because it switches back to normal

If you after using cheats exit the world and load it up again, then it pauses again. Also I belive that the Echo Compass only points to the player wh holds it's last death.

Long time, first time. Could you start a Sky Grid world? Love the hardcore series, loved the transformation and cant wait to see where it goes. Thanks SB!

btw the open to lan thing is reset when you leave the world and rejoin

people completely ignore the fact that Ph1lza popularized Hardcore mode. the motherfucker had a 5 year old world, died in it then got worldwide news coverage about the topic which in turn blew him up and the idea of Hardcore mode was well. everyone and their mother wanted to capitalize on the Hardcore mode wave after Ph1lza lost his season 2 world in 2019.

Yes dress has come out and said he uses mods in his manhunt especially the one that increases the drop chance

bro got 4 mil subs and is still excited that he's in the video

No sleep challenge would be interesting to watch

@SB737, cant you just rejoin into your world after opening to lan and then it wont be opened to lan anymore?
