it's mine, and expressly, I forbid the cheat and never summoned that sword, thats why is so weird, just pop up of nowhere. I'm afraid the server is now "infected" with that status.

its infection is someone probably knows the default password to enable admin commands for themselves and used it. included in the dedicated server tool is a PDF manual on what all the defaults are, including default passwords. i advise reading up on changing those and rebooting the server with those settings. if you still get those kinds of things happening, then someone is hacking which the game is not protected against and one of your "friends" is scummy.

important thing is, ask everyone participating with your permission if they let anyone else onto the server, if they did, have THEM ask if their friends are using any kinds of hack tools or such. if yes, ban them. if all answer no ban every user that isnt a direct friend to you and say "we'll leave it at that till someone comes forward and apologizes"

the take away, dont let people into your server you can't hold to the rules you've set. the people in my hosted server, i can find IRL. if they are someone i can't, we chat and earn trust with each other.
