Return of Mouse Jiggling (Quickly Reverted)
Kaeso What Happened?
Apparently, you now need to move your mouse often to continue farming. If you don't, you get put into "AFK mode" and need to click in chat to disable this mode to continue getting crop drops. This feature used to exist way early on, but was eventually removed (due to how unpopular and annoying it was).
This clearly just sucks for all the legit farmers out there, macro mods can easily bypass this (surely they have some sort of jiggle analysis or something to detect automated movement?). No idea there. We can hope it's not a short-sighted change as it appears to be, but yeah.
There needs to be more done to prevent cheaters, the economy is in shambles and farming certainly isn't helping with inflation, but this seems to only punish legit players.
What Can I Do?
Nothing really, just move your mouse a tiny bit as you farm to prevent yourself from entering "AFK Mode" or click the message in chat to continue. I would not recommend any of you try to bypass this (which would be cheating). Please do not advocate for cheating.
Update
This has been reverted on the same day! Hypixel also released a new alpha version later that reintroduced it again, but after feedback sent the following:
We would also note that what players have come to refer to as a “Farming Jiggle” will not be enabled on live release.
