Cheats in Hardcore possible without any texture interferernce

Hi Mojang, just so you know, I found a bug in Minecraft Java. It allows players to cheat in hardcore worlds.

Steps to recreate it -

  1. Create a New Hardcore World

  2. Pause the world

  3. Click on “Open to LAN worlds.”

  4. Click on Allow commands or smth.

  5. Click on Create on LAN

  6. Your “Hardcore world” is “Creative, but I do not respawn*” (Refer to the 5th point of the 2nd heading)

Why is fixing this important?

Fixing this is important because

  1. The hardcore heart texture stays the same, allowing well-forged videos of hardcore worlds.

  2. It allows commands that are only accessible with cheats on.

  3. If this problem is detected by others, they may take advantage of this bug.

  4. The Java Edition is easier to beat than in Bedrock edition(considering many cases/bugs people take advantage of), and since the introduction of Hardcore to Bedrock, Bedrock will get more hatred than Java, which in this case is very intense as is.

  5. Hardcore worlds aren't meant for the player to respawn, but if you type the command “/gamemode survival” while respawning as a spectator, you respawn as is (but with no items, of course. The items Despawn immediately.)

How can y’all fix this?

My solution is to either -

  • If the game is open to LAN worlds with commands on, the Heart texture should change to the survival, indicating you have cheats on.

  • Disable “Options for the other players” section of the “Open to LAN Worlds)

Please fix this bug ASAP.

Kudos!
