Getting Started
This page is mostly meant to explain the core principles of what duping is. If you already understand all of this, you can safely skip this page.
What is duping/server crashing
Duping is when a player uses exploits or glitches to create new items out of thin air!
For example, You have 1 diamond. You dupe it, and now you have 2 diamonds! Dupe again and now you have 4, then 8, then 16!
Server crashing is when a player uses lag machines or exploits to intentionally cause the server to lag or even force a server to stop running entirely! This disrupts the server and can cause players to stop playing on the server.
How long does finding an exploit take?
There's a common misconception that finding an exploit only takes a few minutes and that all it takes is a few mods. While that is definitely possible, it surely isn't for the people who have just entered the community. Even experienced players can spend days, or sometimes even months, searching for a single exploit.
Is there a mod that could dupe anything for me?
No.
A mod like this couldn't realistically exist. Plugin developers are constantly rolling out new patches for dupes and other exploits, which means any mod like this would be patched and outdated within days of its release.
There have been mods released that made specific dupes a lot easier, for example, the bundle dupe mod! It has made bundle duping way faster and easier than ever, though this dupe has been patched within hours of release on most server softwares. While some servers are still outdated, they are mostly small servers which we do not target.
But good news! There are mods that make dupe hunting much easier, for example, UI-Utils and our Dupers United Meteor client addon! While these mods won't magically turn you into a mastermind hacker, they definitely do help you understand the mechanics behind duping and they're usually required for many exploits.
You can learn more about these mods later in this guide.
