The Dupe Wars, also known as the Great Dupe Wars or simply the Dupe War, was a series of major conflicts between a coalition of players, against the griefer 46mm. It was mainly fought in the greater Oak Hills area, with Oak Hills downtown and Paris being major battlegrounds.
Timeline
Prelude
46mm first joined the server on 14 March. At the time, raddicted, 44cckw, Norbert011 and Wemboz_1 was online on the server. At first, 46mm seemed a bit agitated due to his application for building permission taking some time, but it was nonetheless approved by 44cckw at 23:41.
raddicted : its 44's brother
First Griefs
Tensions had begun to break out between 46mm and Norbert that same day. After some debate about politics and religion between the two, 46mm got angry at Norbert. He wanted to grief Norbert's house, but mistook 44cckw's house as Norbert's and begun destroying it. As such, he was instantly banned by 44cckw at 00:19.
raddicted : holy fuck
Wemboz_1 : wat?
raddicted : damn
44cckw : half my house is gonme
raddicted : what a fucking idiot
44cckw : he thought my house was norberts one lmao
raddicted : he cant read signs
At 00:52, a new player by the name Arctor would join the server. Unbeknownst at the time, he was actually one of 46mm's many alternative accounts. He recieved building permission at 00:58 by 44cckw.
44cckw logged off for the night at 01:28, leaving Arctor, Norbert and raddicted online. Arctor is reported as acting suspicious, with him destroying parts of Mope222's mudhole. Griefing would start not soon after, with Arctor vandalizing builds in central Oak Hills.
46mm : so many accounts with vpns
46mm : this server is fucked

44cckw would quickly rejoin the server at 01:47 and banned 46mm instantly, after recieving messages on Discord about the griefing. 46mm griefing was concidered as being very weak by all the players, due to him only placing water buckets everywhere throughout Oak Hills and not doing any significant damage. At this point in time, PvP was not activated on the server, meaning there was no way to harm other players. His grief would be ridiculed in chat. The damages was quickly repaired, with no rollback needed. One part of the grief was not removed however, as both raddicted and Norbert agreed to keep it. It was named the Gay Pillar and it still stands in Oak Hills to this day.
At 02:27, 46mm would rejoin with his account BetaGuy. However, with the building permission system in place, he could not do anything and quickly left the server. 46mm would still continue to try and use different accounts throughout the night, but to no avail.
First Duping and Fights
![](http://static.miraheze.org/betaonlinemcwiki/thumb/6/64/Backup_1.png/200px-Backup_1.png)
The next day, 15 March 2022, things would mostly go smoothly. It wasn't until 18:58 that 46mm would return, this time with the account NaarsJuul67. Like the previous time, nobody in the server suspected anything strange, as getting new players was not uncommon. 46mm would play normally for hours, recieving building permission by 44cckw. During his stay, he would play normally for hours. 46mm would obtain obsidian and construct a Nether portal, which he would use to dupe large amounts of diamond and gold blocks. 44cckw noticed the nether portal, but didn't think much of it. This portal would later be turned into the Dupe War Memorial by Norbert.
It wasn't until 21:10, when 44cckw logged off, that he would start his bad behaviour. A fight broke out between Norbert and 46mm at 21:38, due to PvP having been enabled earlier that day. 46mm would kill Norbert with a diamond sword, but would ultimately die to Norbert's wolves that occupied his front porch. The violence continued, and both parties would kill eachother several times. Tense arguments between 46mm and Norbert broke out. 46mm joined the Discord and tried to falsely accuse Norbert of stealing, but this lie was seen through by 44cckw instantly. 44cckw logged in at 22:28 and banned 46mm at 22:29. A backup was loaded, because Norbert lost some items during the fight. Some minor griefing in Oak Hills was also committed. 46mm quickly returned with an alt, and was mocked in chat for his waste of time. However, 46mm would reveal that he had secretly duped diamonds during his time before the fight. At the time, the server thought he was bluffing. He would once again be banned on 22:50.
46mm : the duped diamonds
46mm : all there
Norbert011 : there is no duped diamonds, he's lying
Discovery of the Dupe Stash
![](http://static.miraheze.org/betaonlinemcwiki/thumb/c/c3/DupeYoppl2.png/300px-DupeYoppl2.png)
46mm would return yet again to the server, this time with the account yopplstomper58 on 19 March 2022. He would once again act like a normal player. After arguing with server members about the building permission system, he would nonetheless be granted it after some minutes of waiting. 46mm would begin to wander around Oak Hills, and seemed to take notice of a patch of cobblestone in the water. Unbeknownst to the other players on the server at the time, this was actually the location of a dupe stash that he had hid. He and Norbert would begin to remove the cobblestone.
yopplstomper58 : wait can i remove this cobblesotne
Norbert011 : uh sure
Norbert011 : OMG 44
Norbert011 : the dupe stash was real after all
44cckw : WAIT WHAT
Norbert011 : the fabled legend of the dupe stash
Norbert011 : IT WAS REALLL
![](http://static.miraheze.org/betaonlinemcwiki/thumb/0/05/FirstNomadHut.png/200px-FirstNomadHut.png)
It was then revealed to the server that the dupe stash was real. The chest contained stacks of gold and diamond blocks, which Norbert and 46mm was allowed to keep. 46mm would continue to act dumb, saying that he had no clue about the previous events on the server. However, players would begin to act suspicious. 46mm began digging into the Nomad Hut, revealing another dupe stash he had hid there previously.
Norbert011 : why do I feel like you're the duper and just put that here rn
![](http://static.miraheze.org/betaonlinemcwiki/thumb/9/96/YopplEyesore.png/200px-YopplEyesore.png)
Suspicious activity did not stop. 46mm would begin to build a house made out of Diamond and Gold blocks at the Oak Hills pier and docks. While 44cckw did not like it, the build technically broke zero rules, so it was allowed to be kept up. This didn't stop the playerbase complaining, as many regarded the house as an 'eyesore' and a 'disgrace to oak hills', and wanted it gone. 46mm would also be questioned publicly of his unusual luck in finding both the dupe stashes.
Norbert011 : Im appreciating your ability to find stuff yoppl
Norbert011 : its trurly incredible
yopplstomper58 : u think im cheat xddd
44cckw : lets just say that the guy who duped has joined again with alts like 5 times now
44cckw : so were on high alert
![](http://static.miraheze.org/betaonlinemcwiki/thumb/1/1c/YopplSpeedster.png/200px-YopplSpeedster.png)
Later that evening, 46mm would begin to destroy speedster2931's House and replace blocks with gold and diamond, as a way to 'upgrade it'. This made the playerbase really suspicious, and leaked private messages between Norbert and 44cckw conveys this.
Norbert011 : /msg 44cckw but really though, you searched for the stash in freecam and couldn't find it
Norbert011 : .nsg 44cckw this new guy come on and finds both of them one right after the other
The conversation would carry onto Discord, where 46mm tried to defend his actions. 44cckw concluded that 46's destruction of speedster's House was griefing, and that he would be banned unless he repaired it. Norbert meanwhile, insisted that the account yopplstomper was another 46mm alternative account, citing his discovery of the dupe stashes to be highly suspicious.
Back on the server, tensions rose quickly. After more heated arguments, 46mm would attack Norbert, only to get killed by Norbert's diamond sword. 46mm would not be banned however, and 44cckw would log off for the night.
44cckw : ima quit now since its 6 am. More bs from you and its a ban
Reveal and Dupe Stash Hunting
After 44cckw logged off, 46mm would log in with his alternative account stimpy. He would tour Norbert around the server, showcasing some of his dupe stashes. They would chat friendly with eachother, and 46mm would peacefully leave on 07:29.
stimpy : i have quite a few dupe stashes
stimpy : dont be suprised if u find some randomly
The next day, 20 March 2022, FinC121 and Norbert would go on a hunt across the server looking for more dupe stashes. Those they found, would be burned and most items destroyed by the flames. The 'eyesore' in Oak Hills, the house made out of diamond blocks that was built by 46mm, would be mined by 44cckw, Fin and Norbert. 44cckw would use his admin powers to fly around the map with freecam, and look into locked chests to see if they contained duped items.
Official End of the Conflict
46mm would join the Discord server on 20 March 2022. He concluded that he was done griefing and duping on the server. Peace was agreed upon, and 44cckw declared that the war had ended in a stalemate, as while he was successful at reverting the griefing, 46mm still succeed in duping large amounts of diamonds, some of which are still in circulation on the Betaonline black market to this day.
While this is the official end of the conflict, battles and skirmishes would continue into April 2022.
Unbanning and Parole
After coming to terms with each other, 46mm would be allowed to return to the server by 44cckw. 46mm returned to the server on 2 April 2022 with his main account Honor555, on the condition that he would play normally and not grief.
46mm : this is like some anime type shit
46mm : the return of me
Norbert011 : lol
During his stay in April, he notably built his house located between raddicted and Wemboz_1's territory and Oak Hills. However, normal behavior did not last for long. Due to errors with plugins, TNT was enabled on the server. 46mm managed to find this out, and completely demolished the entire server on 14 April 2022. Almost every build and town on the server was struck; Oak Hills, Paris and Lockedchestia was in complete ruins. Just as this happened, 44cckw was away on holiday, meaning that the server had no way to reload from backup. The server remained anarchy until 17 April 2022, when the server finally reloaded from backup after 44cckw had returned home again. 46mm was banned permanently.
46mm would later state on Discord that he 'couldn't help it'. He has not been seen on the server since, and rumors has been floating around that he has begun playing modern Minecraft instead.
Revert's Dupe
![](http://static.miraheze.org/betaonlinemcwiki/thumb/5/5e/Revert_Dupe_1.png/200px-Revert_Dupe_1.png)
Revert, who was previously a normal player on the server, would enter the war in April. Starting with a large lavacast south-east of the oil rig on 3 April, he would dupe a large amount of stone and iron on 7 April 2022. Instead of going with 46mm's tactic of hiding the dupe, he would instead publicly announce it by building structures of iron blocks across Oak Hills. He would be banned by 44cckw quickly after this. His chests full of duped items was located by 44cckw at Server Museum. The chest contained stacks of furnaces, which were all destroyed and burned.
Revert and 46mm never had any relations with each other, and it is unknown if they communicated and coordinated this attack together. Due to this, there are discussion wherever or not Revert's actions should be considered part of the Dupe Wars or not, as the only thing in common between the two incidents are duping.
Aftermath and Consequences
Server Decline and the Dark Ages
The Dupe Wars devastated the server, and 44cckw wanted to prevent anything like it from happening on the server again. As such, a whitelist was enacted on 16 April 2022. This meant that any new players had to be invited by an existing player on the server in order to play. While this seemed to be a smart move at the time, it made the server less-populated in the long run. The server slowly stagnated in May 2022, and by June 2022 almost no players were active on the server. This period in the server's history has been dubbed the Dark Age in retrospect.
The server removed the whitelist and invite-only system on 10 August 2022 and re-implemented the building permission system. With this change, the server would again become more active. Many new players such as dropier, Trikhazan, shigaduhshay and CalmCreeper360 would join the server in August-October.
Dupe War Remnants
Dupe War Remnants are several dupe stashes that has been discovered after the initial battles of the war took place. Those who are reported to 44cckw, gets removed with WorldEdit. Although, on occasion some of the contents of a stash fell into the hands of the players, which in return caused inflation to diamonds and iron.
Diamond Henge

Diamond Henge was a massive Dupe War Remnant that was discovered by Norbert and raddicted while they were exploring WitherTown on 24 March, 2022. Made up of hundreds of diamond blocks, it is easily the largest remnant discovered to this date.

A similar structure to the first diamond henge was discovered 28 March 2022, though it was significantly smaller than the first one.
Infinite Mushroom Glitch
On 24 October 2022, raddicted would discover a glitch that would allow him to gain infinite mushrooms. The glitched items, which allowed him to drag unlimited mushrooms from it was located in one of Wemboz_1's chests. This was a surprise, as many players guessed that it was located at the Mountain House, Reverts home. Many players suspect that this is a dupe war remnant, done by either 46mm or Revert. However, Revert would confirm on 27 October that he had nothing to do with the glitch. It is also possible that Wemboz himself decided to dupe before he left the server. Either way, the duped mushrooms was burned by raddicted, and the chest destroyed.

Notes
- ↑ While Revert and 46mm fought for a common goal, they never worked together.
