Weightless Armor Spawn-Ins

[calculusdesola 1658]

Hello there!

I have come to report a bug discovered by myself and several other ETs (namely Jason).

 

GMs and even ETs it seems can spawn in full sets of armor on armor stands, which promptly has no weight but is still fully equippable all the same. 

 

I suspect this bug has been used to dupe en mass.  Alternatively as some players have pointed out it can drop off zombies, though in the hordes of zombies I've personally killed I've not received any weightless equipment.  If that's intended then my apologies.

 

Would appreciate it if this could be investigated and fixed.  Thanks! (:

 

(Sorry if this is already a known exploit)

Do you have screenies of these happenings?

I discovered this bug several weeks ago and immediately reported it. Has it not been fixed? I have tested this bug and it works frighteningly well. iMattyz can attest to this. 501warhead told me he had fixed it.

If you've seen people running around in weightless armor, firstly; Boots and Helmets by default do not actually weigh anything, and armor can drop from mobs such as zombies and skeletons, of which then can be repaired.

It drops off zombies- good one vulcus!

 

Thanks! Let it be fixed then!

No, it doesn't. Gaius did an event with us which involved fully ironed zombies (around 150 of them) which we killed. Not a single peice of iron or iron armour.

I have a weightless iron helmet and a pair of weightless chain leggings that both dropped with very low durability from zombies. I was able to repair them and they stayed weightless. I can only remember armor dropping from zombies within the first week or two, though. I'm pretty sure armor doesn't drop from zombies anymore, but it definitely used to.

Naturally spawned in entities such as zombies that wear armor can drop weightless gear, however they only naturally spawn in with: leather, chain and gold.

I'd rather see the weightless iron screenshots and am also buying a set of weightless iron for 10k pst more info

Using weightless armor is abusing a glitch and WILL most likely result in it being confiscated and a possible ban. I suggest you inform a gm if you have such and ask for an exchange of normal weight armor.

This isnt even true.

I messed with /mob a lot as an ET, and you definitely can unless the permissions are set to deny such a command. Data values trailing the mob ID (an armor stand is counted as a mob entity) can equip the mob with normal Minecraft armor, just like armored mobs of any other type. The thing is, armor stands always allow the taking of armor.

What I meant was nobody in Adria/Vladov were using this bug.

I don't believe they ever mentioned anything about you guys using it.

The original post pre-edit was fairly harsh...

Wrongg!

 

Helmet and boots of ferrum class do have weight to it, you're thinking of chain boots and helmet that are weightless.
