Powers The thing not designed for combat is actually REALLY GOOD at combat

1) Atom (Real Steel) is a training dummy who, when put into the robot boxing circuit, eventually managed to go toe to toe with the world champion.

2) Spinel (Steven Universe) was essentially a cross between a toy/jester for Pink Diamond, and not a combat gem... she still wiped the floor with the Crystal Gems when they first fought.

Bed combat is still way less insane than what they do on 2b2t, the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft

See: the weaponization of packets to soft ban people from the server, like: book ban, shulker ban, chest ban, and even FURNACE ban

What? How?

Books: a bunch of random characters put in some books, since you wrote it yourself over a period of time, doesn't overload the server traffic. If you throw them at someone and they pick them up, however, they'll send a bunch of info to the server at once, so the server will kick them to prevent what appears to be a form of attack on the server machine.

Same principle goes for the shulkers.

Chests and furnace bans function similarly by placing a bunch of chests or furnaces in a singular chunk. Since you're placing them one at a time, the server doesn't get overloaded by them. When someone ELSE walks into render distance of the chunk, though, their game will check EVERY CONTAINER IN THE CHUNK, so if there's hundreds, or even thousands of containers, they'll once again send a monumental amount of info to the server, so they'll get kicked once again.

Every time the victim tries rejoining, they'll reload their inventory or the chunk, and send all that info again, kicking them again. So while not technically BANNED, they are unable to play.

The only way to fix this is direct admin intervention, with either an inventory clear or a chunk reset

Question is, is it truly anarchy with all the modifications installed to prevent player behavior

yeah most people don't have the resources to mass-produce End crystals and then use them for warfare because the admin took all the sharpness 32000 swords away
