This issue addresses anticheat and xp farms. Currently there are several ingame exploits to gain xp via afk mechanics.

Bamboo and Papyrus allow digging once, but gaining multiples of the xp of this one action.

just verified that bamboo also gives XP for every node, i didn't realize that.

cf. #5420

Would bamboos really be a big issue? In my mind it wouldn't really yield that much XP.

Estimate is about 108k xp per hour, means less than 48h from lvl 0 to lvl 80. Yes, bamboo is an issue.

i disabled xp gained from anything that makes use of the dig_up mechanic. it should now just give 1 xp for the whole stack: db89b4b495

Hacky way to do this

the "dig up" mechanic is already terrible and hacky and has other problems (see https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/3075). given that, i consider this fix acceptable.

Maybe we should remove this mechanic altogether and use choppy instead.

That's scary...
With an auto-clicker it would be horrendous

auto-clickers are currently considered cheating without a legit usecase so ... no need for that

Exactly. But I don't think there are any measures yet that could prevent the use of that.

the admins can just watch the clicks, if an abnormal amount of clicking is detected its good suspicion for an autoclicker.

we can't count the clicks directly, but we can certainly count the results of the clicks.

Would be nice actually. The way it currenlty works doesn't give you the bamboo leaves, so you always have to build up to get them which is quite annoying. (They are needed to make bamboo bushes for example)

hm, #750 should make the leaves disappear instead of floating, but i suppose that makes it even harder to get those leaves. i've got no problem changing bamboo to work with choppy instead of using dig_up, though i'm less enthused about using it to collect papyrus.
