Fast Travel Exploits

A list of methods players have used to quickly travel across the server.

## Entity Speed

The most used fast travel hack is by far entity speed (espeed). The main ways of using it are by horse, pig, or boat. Horses are mostly used in the overworld, but they're annoying to use since they can't go to narrow spaces and they're also hard to use in the nether. Most people use boats which are easy to make and take with you. Pigs are also used, they're harder to bring to the nether, but they're the only entity you can ride that can go through a 1 block wide space.

Entity speed has been nerfed and buffed a lot. After an update, it's sometimes very laggy and hard to use, with you constantly getting kicked off your entity. Over times however, it has been very broken. Back in december 2020, Mopplkotze was able to travel 500 blocks per second when going to the worldborder. However, nowadays you can't go that fast anymore (max speed is around 150-200 bps).

## Elytra Hacks

Elytrafly/elytra+ is one of the most populair hacks on the server. It allows you the easy and quickly get across terrain, or to escape bad situations, some people even use it to build. It's also used for fast travel, espeed is probably used more since it's faster and doesn't waste durability, but you can only use in on Netherhighways and not in open nether, you can use an elytra in both situations and an elytra can also go through a 1 block wide tunnel.

## Boatfly

Boatfly is a hack that has been used a few times in the server's history, but has been patched for most of the server's history. Even when it wasn't patched it was still very unreliable and laggy. Some players have been able to use boatfly when it was "patched" by using certain hack clients (liek Allahware), but even then it was somewhat unreliable.

All in all boatfly isn't even that good, it's slower than entity speed and elytra's are easier to use. It's only better for transporting mobs.

## Bedtp

Bedtp was an exploit first discorvered by 8zi\_ at The Finale Crusade in late August 2020. He wanted to go to Spawn so he destroyed his bed. After this Michi games and SoloMaker replaced the bed to set their spawn, but then 8zi died at spawn and spawned back in front of their eyes. They tested it out a bit more and realised that if you break a bed and die, you'll spawn at spawn, but if you replace the bed at the exact same place and then die, you'll spawn at the bed again. They realised this was a huge exploit so they decided to keep it a secret so Edok wouldn't patch it. However, 8zi later told it Babylon members and TriggeredCat about it, and Michi eventually also told Team V members about it too. Not before long the entire server was using this exploit. Most groups even build special rooms for bedtp at their bases. 8zi called the exploit "bed stasis", but most players later called it "bedtp".

It had some downsides, you could only use it to travel to one place, you had to die to use it and somebody else had to replace your bed (or you could use an alt).

Eventually the exploit got patched after edok "accidently" wrote a typo in the server's code. This made a lot of people mad so the next month edok unpatches the pearl stasis exploit, which had been patched by paper for a long time.

## Pearl stasis

Throwing a pearl in an unloaded chunk and letting someone else load it to tp you was always possible, but the exploit isn't very reliable and hard to do so most people never used it. However, pearl stasis isn't the same. It's throwing a pearl on a bubble column to keep it floathing, later some can activate the pearl with help of a piston or a trapdoor.

This had existed for a while but not many people used it. It was made easier in 1.16.2, but was quickly patched by paper. In December 2020, edok unpatched it after backlash from him patching bedtp. This quickly became the new most used fast travel exploit, and it still is today.

Pearl stasis is in a lot of ways better than bedtp. You can set multiple pearls at many different places, with bedtp you could only use it to go to one place, you also don't have to die to use pearl stasis. The only disadvantage that pearl stasis has is that someone else needs to activate your pearl when using pearl stasis (or you can use an alt), with bedtp, somebody had to replace the bed, but they didn't have to be online when you wanted to go back to the base. When you die and your pearl is loaded, it'll also despawn, so most players built their pearl rooms outside of their bases.
