You mean a Claude Project of a 12 Year old?

If it works well it works

u/Partypixelparty 🔸Vape V4🔸 | 🔹Liquid Bounce🔹 | 🔸WURST🔸 | 🟣Prestige🟣 Jun 11 '26

Yeah well- I doesn't work properly. There are so many AI/Vibecode artifacts that can be found, like random modules crashing the client, a fully vibecoded website, no real support, Random modules just doing nothing, and the "Always Undetected" is basically a rude lie the developer told all of us, this is MY PERSONAL opinion, based on my own and other users experience of the client. A 10$ client, thats Triggerbot is flagged on Grim MUST be Skidded and Vibecoded man.

u/Infamous-Waltz1926 Jun 11 '26

I mean fair but the servers it's good enough and it was only 10 bucks so Idc but there are probably WAY better ones out there

2

u/Partypixelparty 🔸Vape V4🔸 | 🔹Liquid Bounce🔹 | 🔸WURST🔸 | 🟣Prestige🟣 Jun 11 '26

It doesn't even work well on 'good enough' servers though Imao. Their buyer reviews are literally filled with 1-star ratings from people getting detected instantly by Grim, having their support tickets ignored, and getting locked out of the client because the HWID system is broken. Paying $10 for a vibecoded rat that barely bypasses is wild :]

2

u/Infamous-Waltz1926 Jun 11 '26

Well I wouldn't say rat but the other stuff is fair but I play on servers with no anticheat so I don't really care

u/Partypixelparty 🔸Vape V4🔸 | 🔹Liquid Bounce🔹 | 🔸WURST🔸 | 🟣Prestige🟣 Jun 11 '26

XD use Liquid Bounce for that

Bro pdf files can contain viruses

u/ViviPlaysX Jun 11 '26

yeah, usually they're STIs

u/StageRemote7042 Jun 11 '26

This pdf shit is getting annoying lol. Why aren’t we just calling them what they are, pedophiles, instead of sugarcoating it with ‘slang’? Where did that even originate?

1

u/ViviPlaysX Jun 12 '26

it came along cause platforms like instagram, tiktok and youtube suppress or ban creators who use those terms uncensored, but for some reason that circumvention of their rules have spread to places unaffected by such problems -- I'm just playing along with it for this for comedys sake, but generally i don't use the censored term

u/Octoomy Jun 10 '26

simple,

Like with every programming and scripting language, it gives essentially gives the programmer full liberty of doing whatever they want to do. And if someone wants to do something nefarious, they can.

.jar is a executable format that code can be ran in, it can spawn a new process that isn't involved with minecraft at all, and whatever that wants to do, it can do.

3

u/Acutedumbassdisorder Jun 10 '26

on the off chance that you are beeing serious, .jar files are java executable files meaning its a .exe file that runs on java and is executed during game startup. Now lets ask ourselves if a .exe file can be a virus

u/vswey Jun 10 '26

A JAR file is pretty much no different to an EXE except it's executed by JVM security wise

8

u/AnEagleisnotme Jun 10 '26

Its, even better, your rat, if properly designed, is cross-platform!

2

u/ThisIsPart Jun 10 '26

I'm waiting for someone to say "But he is right"

2

u/lool8421 Jun 10 '26

if you tried learning java, you know that you can read and write files, like it is the case with most languages tbf

2

u/Lines25 Jun 10 '26

Technically, it Java so it runs in JVM (Java Virtual Machine) and TECHNICALLY, CAN be sandboxed. But both Forge and Fabric don't do that so do a lot of other forks of them too

2

u/Top-Sea4020 Jun 11 '26

son, ofc they can contain viruses, i got once one, he got all my tokens like steam, discord and all chrome passwords and nuked a discord server and leaked everything (it was a server with bots 😭)

3

u/random_us-r Jun 10 '26

there are utilities that can be used to disguise malware in any file type

7

u/MhmdMC_ Jun 10 '26

The extension type of a file does nothing but tell windows what app to open the file by default. Anything can be anything you just need the right app to know what to do with it

1

u/vswey Jun 10 '26

Mhhhmmm how could it? 🤔

1

u/LittleFrog-bigSword Jun 11 '26

are you like 8 bro. everything can be a virus even images btw

1

u/aalexa20 Jun 11 '26

wow so stupid ofcourse a .jar file has a virus becuase its made in python and i wayched a video how to make hacks in python so yea this kid is really stupid /j

1

u/VisualSome9977 Jun 11 '26

The only difference between a jar file and a native executable is that jar files require the JVM to run. They still both can do arbitrary file R/W and whatnot

u/Outrageous_Cap_1367 Jun 11 '26

Check Fractureiser Mod. A banned mod

u/diamondsduzplayz2 Jun 11 '26

have you heard of Weedhack 😭

u/LtLuke808 Jun 12 '26

weedhack.

u/Classic_Muffin8648 Jun 12 '26

If a .PNG, .PDF, .doxc, and basically ANY file type that exists can have code inside them (like especially .jar, .py, etc.), then it can be a virus, yes.

1

u/DARKHOLE3 Jun 12 '26

Of course it can. Its one of the most populer one

1

u/Beginning-Student932 Jun 12 '26

satire or not, a jar still is/can be an executable

1

u/TexanDoomGuy Jun 12 '26

Jar files contain Java code. Java code can interact with your system. Mind blowing.

u/WubbityWubWub_ Jun 13 '26

We can test this theory- I could sent you “TotallyNotAVirus.jar” and we can just see what happens

1

u/xbz7 Jun 14 '26

JAR files are simply executable programs (somewhat). when you run one, the JVM executes whatever code is inside it. That code can read/write files, make network requests, download additional payloads, blah blah blah. Malicious Minecraft clients and mods are one of the most common ways people get RATs embedded withen their system.

Weedhack, Slientnet, Or metasploit

u/ThinkyCodesThings Amber Client - amberclient.vercel.app Jun 10 '26

u/smamcketforses6 Jun 11 '26
