Grief on Minecraft

Griefing on Minecraft can be fun. You can use it to help raid factions, get revenge, etc. But remember, you have a large chance of the Administrators finding you. Since 2012, many servers have lots of protection and plugins, sniffing you out.

Steps

General Griefing

  1. Find a server list website. Ex. Minecraft Server List, Planet Minecraft.
  2. Find a Server. Preferably a no-whitelist server, this way you can just go right in and start playing instead of having to wait to get to play.
  3. Get a custom griefing client, if desired. This can be used to fly, speed mine, climb walls, x-ray, etc. It is very useful on servers.
  4. Start destroying buildings. Blow them up, steal stuff, tear down most of it, whatever suits you.
  5. Steal stuff, TNT buildings, or just mine them. Make sure not to get caught, use sneak (shift) so people can't see your name. (hold it down)

Destroying a Building

  1. Remove the door of the building, and place a stone pressure plate there.
  2. Connect a piece of redstone to the plate. Finally, connect your desired amount of TNT to the redstone. Make sure you don't accidentally step on the plate yourself!

Using a Lava Flood

  1. Find a vein of lava. They are usually found underground, but they can be found above the surface too.
  2. Stock up on buckets of lava.
  3. Find a wood building. Remove the building's roof.
  4. Place lava on all four corners of the house's ceiling, so the lava flows inside.
  5. Replace the roof and repair anything else messed up. The owner of the house will get a little surprise when he/she opens the door! Remember, you can do this with water if you have trouble finding lava.

With an Underwater Building

  1. Find a proper building. This method is super easy, the only remotely difficult part is finding the proper building. If you have the time, search around underwater for an underwater house. Good signs of underwater houses are floating underwater glass, and lights from underwater.
  2. Go inside of the house, and simply break the roof! It will be a huge pain for the owner to get all of the water out.

Spelling Out

  1. Walk around. Find a large house with tall walls.
  2. Remove some of the walls to make letters. You can spell out your name, "Hello," "I hate you," or whatever else you wish to do.

World Edit

  1. If you happen to find a server that has the World Edit plugin installed, try to find a way to get OP, or get a rank that allows World Edit.
  2. Once you have World Edit, try to destroy spawn if possible, or if you can't, try to destroy as close to spawn as possible. Recommended World Edit commands to destroy it is //set air //replace (uglyblock1),(uglyblock2),(uglyblock3) //set Lava and //set bedrock

Tips

  • Drink an Invisibility Potion so no one can see you. (Also make sure nothing is in your hand!)
  • Have an item in your hot bar like lapis or something completely harmless, not string or redstone, mind you. This is so if a player comes up and sees you, they won't see you have TNT, or flint and steel, even tools.
  • Make sure they don't have a Log Block plugin so you would not get banned
  • If you're going to grief, go big. No one really cares if you, say, break a bridge, but turning the bridge and the places it connects into a mountain for your giant, awesome lava fountain... now that's something people will remember.
  • If you are banned, use an alternate account.
  • Make sure not to set off warnings such as placing TNT, Lava, bedrock, etc.
  • Make sure you're not too close to TNT so you won't die.
  • If you are kicked, lay low for a while.
  • If you are griefing in a team, don't all log in at once.
  • Nodus has a proxy so you can use that if you get IP banned.
  • While sneaking, use the Herobrine mod to decrease your chances of getting banned. Plus, your victim MIGHT freak out, as a bonus.

Warnings

  • Be careful about getting banned; many servers have rules about griefing, and this could possibly get you banned.
  • Always be sure that the house does not have advanced safety features like impenetrable blast walls, hidden lava traps, trick stairs, etc. These will either kill you or stop you from getting through the walls or floors. Or it might have a lockdown feature, where the the house is cordoned off from the area completely, making it virtually IMPOSSIBLE to grief it.Examples are -

Turrets - These may spring up and cover the area with all types of projectiles and explosives in 360 degrees, thereby effectively grinding you to pieces. Maze - This makes it that the house goes underground and in a random location, so you'd have a tough time to find it. Switch - Bars down everything in the house, stopping you from getting in. But all this relies on an alarm. If you see ANYTHING which can start an alarm, don't break it or touch it. It might have breakers attached to activate the alarm.
