Ivain

So, to re-iterate: Do NOT engage with discord account Ivain#1948! It is compromised by a hacker who is using it to target other people. Daeyon Creates was successfully targeted by this hacker as well, so PM them on here if you get a message from them on discord. Their discord account is likely compromised.

If you are asked by anyone you know to test a game, do NOT download or run anything, especially not .exe files. It is MALWARE and their account is very likely compromised as well. It's how they got me, contacting me with the compromised account of someone I knew.

I've got a new(oldish) discord account by name of #ivain7736, I am currently assuming that I will not get my old account back. If I had you on discord, please add that.

My discord account was compromised, please don't interact with it until clear, it has been so for at least an hour.

Over the past few weeks I've been digging through my archives and fixing broken downloads.

However, I'm afraid I will be removing my non-resource downloads from this point onwards, and not posting new ones.


The reason? PMC downloadable worlds are apparently now a target for NFT-based theft.



This happened most recently to TerraVoxel, who found his most recent Pop-reel project had been pasted into an NFT-world.

For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, an "NFT" is basically a digital artwork of some type that is given a 'unique' ID through a blockchain system (if you dont know what blockchain is, google it).

In this instance, there's an organization that sells bits of Minecraft world to people, with the idea that whoever the owner is at that time gets access to that bit of world to build whatever they want.



Think something like "Hypixel Housing" except you can buy and sell your Housing plots for cryptocurrency (which in turn can be sold for traditional currency).



What's been happening is that several people that have bought such plots have decided to download worlds from here and paste them into those bits of world.

Since this can apparently be changed at any time, it is very difficult to tell if the build in question is used to then sell that 'piece of world' at a higher price, with an unofficial condition to change it later (to avoid actually being caught).




So until there is legal precedent or a path known to work, I will not have any map downloads available. I'm sorry for those inconvenienced by this, but my resource posts (custom brushes etc) will still be available.

So it has come to my attention that due to a recent security update at Google, a lot of my old download links are now broken. I'll be looking to fix this over the next week. Apologies for any inconvenience.
