Important Information
In November 2025, I was a victim of Identity Theft. I was targeted using a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) on my PC, meaning that the attackers gained access to all my files, documents, browser profiles, banking information, card details, and all my passwords. Years worth of data that was saved on my machine.
Within a few days, they had emptied my bank accounts, taken over my PayPal account, and locked me out of my email, social media, and banking apps. My Microsoft and Google accounts were both compromised, and the machine I have been lovingly building for the past 10 years was trashed.
Over the past few months, I have been trying to re-build my life, and re-coup whatever losses I can, financially; but I've still lost several thousand pounds that I won't be able to recover. It's been a horrible ordeal that has left me with very little. I have had to go back over my whole life, and change every password I've ever set, for every website. I've had to deal with PayPal customer service, which was a nightmare. I've had multiple fraud cases open with the banks, who have all been amazing. I've had to come to terms with the fact that my entire life is now sitting on someone else's computer somewhere, and they are picking through it bit by bit. After nearly six months, I was still getting hundreds of dollars taken from my account to pay for some gift card from a site I'd never heard of.
Please be careful out there. Identity Theft is becoming easier, and easier. I am trained and certified within cyber-security awareness, I follow best practice, I work day-to-day within information security; and I still got got.
Luckily now, I am mostly back to normal, from a security point of view. My banks are safe. My PayPal is safe. It's starting to feel like it's all over. But I've lost a huge amount in the process. Thank you to everyone who has reached out in this time. All your support, and words of encouragement have been truly inspiring. Some people have asked whether it is safe to still donate, or buy me a coffee, or join my Patreon. I can thankfully now say that yes, it is. And all support is greatly appreciated. Thank you to everyone, this is an amazing community. Thank you for your patience, and thank you for being you.
Minimal Waypoints
Reduce waypoint clutter and reliance by controlling pin behaviour and optionally wiping player waypoints on login or death.
These options are configured via the server command namespace /minimalmapping waypoints.
- Allow or disallow pinning of waypoints (pinning is prevented when disabled).
- Optionally wipe a player's waypoints when they log in.
- Optionally wipe a player's waypoints when they die.
Minimal World Map
Restrict world‑map and mini-map usage and scope so players only reveal local areas unless expressly permitted by server settings.
Configure these behaviours via /minimalmapping worldmap.
- Disable the 'M' hotkey for opening the world map.
- Disable the 'V' hotkey for showing the coordinates HUD.
- Disable the mini‑map hotkey (F6) and control mini‑map visibility from the same namespace.
- Wipe a player's world map on login or on death (optional).
- Disable coordinates appearing when hovering over the mini‑map.
- Disable click‑and‑drag scrolling of the mini‑map.
