I couldn't particularly post a thread in bug reports as I don't have enough freedom to express my problems in this server. Here I'm typing out 6 of the problems that I'm facing in this server.

Problem 1: Lagback


Lagback wasn't there in the server until 2 or 3 updates ago. I think it was after the rotation items update. Since then, Lagback was very frequent in this server. Even though my internet connection is perfectly fine, lagbacks still occur. Sometimes I get lagged back and gets stuck in blocks, sometimes I get teleported into the void, sometimes I take 8 hearts of damage for no reason, sometimes I even die for no reason. There are many instances like this making it extremely annoying to play in this server.

Problem 2: Unnecessary lag

This is one of the main topics I'm talking about. Unnecessary lag. I don't know if this is the problem of the server or it's something else, but I do want to talk about it because it only happens in this server. My ping shows 111 ms but my game looks like it's above 2000 ms. When I go to another server is perfectly smooth and fine, but when I come back here, it's so laggy and I just can't move because of the lagback. I even get lagged so hard that I get kicked out of the server. When I'm like all motivated to play minecraft, I log on to this server only to find out that I can't even play with this unnecessary lagging. Then I get demotivated and rage quit. I can't explain it any further, but I hope you understand.

Problem 3: Hit registration

One of the most annoying bugs of this server. Hit registration. This happens due to the unnecessary lag that I'm facing recently. 1/20 of the hits that I hit registers. It makes pvp just straight up impossible. I get more than twice the amount of hits the opponent gets, but still I lose. There is no recording proof, but trust me when I say this, my hit particles appear, but none of those hits registers. This makes combo-locking impossible.

Problem 4: Chain critting

Chain critting is broken in pika for some reason. This might probably be out-of-context, but still it's a bug, or atleast I think so. This mostly happens in Practice PvP, where opponents just hop around hoping to get a few hits, and for some reason even if I get triple the hits they get, that damage of crit just makes up for it. Combined with the hit registration problem, it's almost impossible to win against these kinds of opponents. To be honest, I don't know if this could be fixed or nerfed, but yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a broken bug.

Problem 5: Getting stuck in blocks

Another of the annoying bugs, getting stuck in blocks placed by opponents. This could be anything from glass to obsidian. Moreover, while I'm stuck in blocks, I can't move my crosshair, it just gets lagged back. So it's close to impossible to break the block I'm stuck in, unless I die to the opponent. I hope you understand.

Problem 6: Stuff in inventory getting duped or disappearing

This is a very common and frequent bug that I'm facing. First of all, blocks. Blocks disappear when placed, or it changes to something else in the inventory. For example, if I had gold and blocks in my inventory, when I'm starting to bridge and place one block, my blocks become gold. And that placed block disappears, and I fall into the void. Or if I had nothing else in my inventory, my blocks just casually become invisible when I place one block, then I have to click through my whole inventory to find that stack of blocks. This has become one of the biggest reasons I've died 24k times in Bedwars.

Problem 7: Hackers and anti-cheat.

I know hackers are in every server there is, but still many of the servers have taken certain precautions to avoid them. But so far, I can only see blatant hackers roaming around the server in every part. They're just taking over ever part of the server like Bedwars, Practice PvP, and even SKYBLOCK. The most ridiculous part is that anti-cheat bans legit players for the unnecessary lag I mentioned earlier, but not the blatant hackers all around the server. They have fly, ridiculous reach, kill aura, autoclickers, bunny hop, scaffold, and a lot and I mean A LOT of more mods and cheats. Skywars was dominated by hackers earlier but thankfully the server noticed it and fixed it. But still, I really can't understand why these mods mute players for saying something that isn't even considered offensive, atleast in their country, but can't ban these blatant of blatant cheaters. So, I'm kindly requesting to fix the console and anti-cheat so that it won't ban legit players, and instead ban these blatant hackers.

I hope any Mods or Developers see this so they can fix this in future updates.

But overall, if these bugs weren't there, it would've been so much more fun to play in this server. As of the new rotation items update, it did make bedwars feel more fun to play, and not any of that boring daily basis of just breaking beds and killing players. It would've been so cool if bridge egg and magic milk and invis potions were permanently added.

Anyways, I hope to see an update where all of these problems I've mentioned is fixed, or atleast make some of these less frequent. That's it. Thank you.

Hello Exxtremme,


First of all, I would like to say that I agree with you, as I am experiencing the same bugs as you. I would still recommend that you do a Bug Report or a Suggestion so the developer team could have a look at the problems that you are facing or implement a suggestion that you are saying. I also recommend that you provide evidence like SS or better yet, video proof.


Second of all, I would like to address the problems that you are facing, as most of the problems could be caused by your ping. I see that you have stated that your ping is 111 ms. For me, this is a high ping, as you will experience latency when doing certain actions during the game. Also, I think this could be causing you to lag back, as the anti-cheat is trying to prevent you from taking certain actions that do not seem "legit".


Thirdly we got the problem with the hit registration, and this is mainly caused by the anti-cheat, as now the anti-cheat is at its strictest point due to the amount of hackers on the server. I know it seems stupid because they are preventing hits from regestiring and not hackers flying around the map or just killing you. Furthermore, I completely understand your frustration, and most players that are or will be experiencing the same situation will have the same emotions as you.


Fourthly, we have the situation of getting stuck in blocks. For me, in most of the servers, this happens when a player places a block just in front of you when you are running, but getting stuck in a block when you are standing still is a bit weird, so go to the Bug Report and submit a detailed report of your bug explaining what is happening and a screenshot or video for evidence.


Fifthly, you said that blocks display differently when you are bridging; I think it may be caused by the anti-cheat preventing you from placing blocks in a weird way. This problem could be caused by for high-CPS bridging methods as they are difficult to recreate. Then about the stuff in your inventory being duped, it's just a visual glitch when hotswapping blocks or items using your keys, and I feel it could also be a client problem, but I'm not sure.


Last but not least, the problem of hackers I know it could become very frustrating when facing a hacker in a Bedwars game when having a high winstreak or in practice, but, I think, theThe developer team is working on the situation, as a lot of players have been reporting the same exact problem as you. So I feel there is no need to bring back the problem, as I think the developer team
are working on the problem.


If you have any more concerns about the server and want to talk about them, feel free to message me through Discord or the PikaNetwork website (preferably).
PD: I am NOT an admin so do not take this response seriously.

Thank you, cOdEx567 for this valid response. But, as to my perspective 111 ms isn't that high, but yeah it's probably pretty high to you because I live a lot farther from France, where I believe this server is hosted. And about the disappearance of blocks, I don't get that high cps, precisely 9 - 23 cps even though I bridge with 6 cps. So, I believe this is a pretty clearly visible bug. I don't have a recording software, neither can I take screenshots at that precise moment, so I don't think I'll be able to provide any proofs, and as I don't wish to waste my time on those. I see that anti-cheat is becoming the reasons to these problems, so I kindly request to try and fix it, as it makes it very annoying to play.

I forgot to mention one of the problems that I had, so I'm mentioning it here -

Problem 7: Mining Fatigue

This is NOT a bug, so see it from another perspective. Mining Fatigue isn't supposed to work as it is in this server. Here, mining fatigue trap completely disables your ability to mine blocks. But rather what it should've done is that it should've made mining take more time and not completely disable the ability to mine. I don't know if this was purposely made so, but I believe that it's better to make mining fatigue work as it is supposed to.

That's it, thank you

Hello again Exxtremme,

Thanks for your response but I do think that 9 -23 cps are high (I think you have a double clicking mouse), as mine are 11 - 12 cps so I do think is high

Hit reg/lag/lagback issues were reported and we are working on fixing them. Providing us with further evidence will help us fix the issue faster-> https://pika-network.net/forums/bug_reports/

About "Hackers" and "Anticheat issues"
As you mentioned you are facing "a lot" of cheaters, please report them-> https://pika-network.net/forums/player-reports.150/
If you provide us with "many" cheating-related reports from Minigames (Bw/Sw) only, we will take some action. Considering the fact I found 2 cheaters in 1hr of Skywars gameplay, I don't know how you are facing "many" cheaters in Minigames.

There is almost no appeal for "false" Ac bans, so I don't know how "legit" players are getting banned by the Ac.
All I have state above is for Minigames only, feel free to provide us with evidence I asked for in the above links and we will take some action.

It is in fact intended and it was suggested to change, which was denied due to negative community feedback- https://pika-network.net/threads/imrovement-in-miner-fatigue-trap.292532/
