    ok, in skyblock.net there are a few problems with people scamming now we all know we cant get rid of it 100% but I have notice a large amount of people using invisibility potions to get in the trade rooms and take what they want from the people whom are trading.

    now a very simple fix to this is disabling invisibility potions, now why do we even need them in skyblock mods still see you, people use them for bad reasons so why not just get rid of this problem.

    also most players play with partials off because of lag and or they have optifine .

    thank you for taking the time to read this I think it really would help the server.

    I know it's an issue but I don't think /near is disabled in trade rooms so that what you use to see if there is an invisible guy in ur trade room. I think people would be disappointed if invisibly potions were disabled because they are really fun to use :3

    I know but invisible people are meant to show up on /near
    I'm not sure how a restriction on those positions would go, but I do want to problem resolved. Usually the logs would show the person who took the items in the trade (some instances do mess up). I don't know I just like invisible potions :(

    No support. I like invis they're fun to troll but I agree they need to stop getting in the trade rooms. I've done /near with a clearly invis person and only one person showed

    Invis pots are actually important to mods. They usually use it for undercover missions like James Bond :t

    I like invisibility potions, and a lot of players do too. I don't think that the entire server should be punished because of a few scammers. As other players have said, there is logblock and /near. They can make a broadcast suggesting that players do /near when in trading rooms. no support

    I would support this but I just love invisibility potions. I've personally never had this problem cause in almost all of my trades, people just tpa to me but there are visible particles when you use potions. If people really do find this is a problem and disabling invisibility potions is the best solution though, I can't go against it cause I really hate scammers.

    To summarize:
    • Use /near to make sure no one is in the room
    • If you can see particles, look for them in the room before trading
    • Invisibility potions seem to be enjoyed by many people for harmless trolling
    • Invisibility potions are not like the command /v that admins have.
