Stop Alt-Account Abuse: Phone Verification & Anti-Cheat for Bedrock

Summary: > The current Bedrock multiplayer ecosystem makes it too easy for cheaters and toxic players to ruin the game. Because anyone can create unlimited free Xbox profiles, bans mean nothing. Banned players simply jump on a new alt account within minutes and continue cheating or harassing others.

Proposed Solutions: >

1. Mandatory Phone Verification (SMS) for Multiplayer: > * Require users to link a valid phone number to their Microsoft/Xbox account to access featured multiplayer servers (similar to systems in CS2 or Overwatch 2).

   • Limit the number of free accounts that can be created per device or phone number. Require a paid fee for creating additional accounts beyond the limit.

2. Stronger Anti-Cheat & DLL Detection (e.g., BattlEye / EAC integration): > * Implement active detection for injected DLL files and unauthorized client modifications before letting players connect to servers.

   • If modified files are detected, automatically restrict the player to single-player/local worlds only.

Why this matters: > Honest players deserve a safe and fair environment. Creating actual barriers against alt-account spam is the only proven way to stop persistent trolls and cheaters. This change would instantly restore integrity to Bedrock multiplayer.
