I have been thinking about hackers and they are so good that they can bypass servers and grief and stuff like that!

So I have been wondering if Mojang will ever make an update which will look for any suspicious things.
I have found hacks out when someone flew on my first server which was vanilla back in 1.7.10 in survival mode
and I was super confused I even did /gamemode s and he didn't go down and then I had research going on.

This would be an awesome thing for Mojang to add but remove the Mods part.

I will let the rest of you talk about this topic in the comments.

Theoretically, it is possible, but it would take HUGE amount of time. There are plugins that disable movement hacks and Killaura, but also one which disables xray functions. This is big step for preventing hackers.

It's about as easy for Mojang to get rid of issues with hackers as it is for plugin developers. Mojang has anti-fly hacks support to servers, as has Spigot and Bukkit, and it works half the time. Otherwise, hacks like x-ray and aimbot have continued being used. Mojang hasn't done a lot to prevent these since there's not really a way to do so on the client-side; otherwise, they would be removing modding from the game. It's important to remember that "hacks" are actually just modifications, or "mods", to the game. Therefore, the only way to stop them is through plugins. There are a lot of anti-cheat plugins, but they don't always work. In addition, often in the case of anti-aimbot plugins, legitimate players often get "caught" for using hacks even though they weren't doing so at all. That's why it's hard to detect hacks; in terms of coding, there's not an explicitly distinguishable difference between hackers and legit players.
