The average player won't know how to combo lock and it's likely that you're just missing hits due to bad aim. Basically, the only way to counteract it is to just combo them before they combo you or back out of a combo by pressing the s key.Īlthough, if you're not playing ranked duels but still getting comboed, you will probably want to practice your aim more. These reasons might be why people can combo you so easily.
#MINECRAFT HACKS 1.8.9 PVP REGISTRATION#
On Hypixel, hit registration is a bit broken due to the anticheat. On servers with a heavier anticheat, players with lower ping will benefit instead due to their hit registration being better.
They're outside reach distance server-side, but client-side they are still within reach. The first hit deals knockback to the player, and while the server still hasn't sent you their movement packets, you can hit them again. This is because you're sending and receiving delayed packets from the server.
Sweaty players who know these mechanics and use them may seem like they're cheating with reach hacks from their opponent's point of view.Īnother factor that impacts reach is ping: If your ping is somewhat on the higher end, you can occasionally hit opponents while they're outside the usual reach distance of 3 blocks. You can get the first knockback hit with a rod and combo lock someone from there.Ĭombo locking is best performed with Speed II and sprint resetting in order to minimize the amount of time that the opponent's reach distance is within 3 blocks. This is because if you get the first hit, the upward knockback forces the opponent into a higher y-level, making the distance from your opponent's head and you longer than the distance between your head and the opponent, because the base of a right triangle is shorter than the hypotenuse. In versions 1.8.9 and below it's possible to do something called combo locking where even if both players have 0 ping and perfect aim, you can consistently hit your opponent before they can hit you for in crazy combos.
