before I describe the bug, I would like to say that none of this was the result of hacks, as I only use astra client when playing on Arch.
with that being said, I recently experienced a bug in the new bedwars, in a solos game. when the game started, instead of being teleported to my island, I was dropped straight down into the void, making me a spectator for a few seconds like usual. However, when the respawn timer ended, I stayed as a spectator instead of spawning at my island. I thought this was very weird, and went to other islands to see if other players were experiencing the same bug. One of the beds had not been protected yet, and out of curiosity, I broke it, discovering that I could still break blocks despite being a spectator. other notable things about this were that I was completely invisible, even when holding an item in my hand, I could pick up and throw out items, damage players and knock them off their bridge (whoops), and things like fireballs and tnt could still damage me. the weirdest thing though, was that my bed had been replaced by a sign reading: “[bed] f”, and even when this sign was broken, I could still respawn (I could die by falling into the void).
again, I want to say that this happened with no hack clients or anything else that would give me an advantage over other players being active. please don't ban me
time to use it to cheat >:>
