According to ItzTaniel, it started in a Discord server where people rewatched old MCC VODs for fun. Someone shared a clip from MCC 11, Luna watched back the full run, and the suspicion quickly spread. Taniel brought it up in parkourist HammSammichz's livestream, Hamm reviewed the footage and became convinced, and that in turn led to SandwichLord making the breakout video that popularised the accusation and got the word out to a much wider audience.

Dream first responded by releasing a video of himself performing fifty "tick perfect" jumps, then went live to talk through the accusations and try to debunk them. After that, Karl Jobst published a very compelling follow-up adding more evidence and helping push the case much further.

My Contributions

I got interested almost immediately after watching SandwichLord's video and found a mistake in how he explained the wall jump. He implied colliding with the wall was what triggered the hack. I joined his server to point that out, a moderator agreed, and I started digging into how the hack actually worked.

I read through Meteor Client and specifically their parkour implementation. That quickly turned into a much deeper dive into tick mechanics. I ended up creating my own Discord server so there was one place to discuss the controversy and explain the mechanics properly instead of splitting everything across multiple communities.

That server quickly picked up many of the prominent people involved, including HammSammichz, ItzTaniel, Sociopac, and parkourists like Miles and Drakou. Sociopac wrote the initial analysis document with help from Miles and Drakou. It was the first serious writeup, but still fairly small and not especially thorough. I heard about the document around that time and met them as they joined the discussion. From there, Miles and Drakou spun off into their own server dedicated to collecting timing data. I funneled my own members into that effort, and over time most of the momentum gradually shifted there as the data collection work expanded. Miles and Drakou are still working on the expanded analysis there, with Sociopac continuing as a contributor.

To help with the investigation, I built MCV, short for Minecraft Computer Vision, a tool that can reconstruct a camera position from a single screenshot using Perspective-n-Point.

After my MCV video did far better than I expected, I used that momentum to finally do what I originally wanted: teach people tick mechanics properly, debunk several of Dream's claims from the 50 jumps short and stream, and package the technical case into something much easier to follow. I spent a full week building that video with help from parkourists for fact checking, a non-parkourist to keep the explanation accessible, and some input from Karl Jobst after chatting with him.

The result ended up exploding far beyond the original VODs that triggered Dream's response in the first place. Miles and Drakou's server has effectively become the main hub for continued analysis, and the long-term plan is still to finish collecting the remaining data and produce a final report and closing video with the full statistical case in one place.
