Summary
Minecraft is a procedurally generated survival game in which players progress by finding new ore while mining. Players can forge armor or weapons from the strongest materials, such as netherite or diamonds. Some players may try to expedite getting ore quickly on Minecraft servers by using XRay cheats to see through walls. A few methods are available to combat this, with the quickest and easiest method being PaperMC's anti-xray feature.
