Further investigation into Vex Essentials concluded that its creator had not only left controversial punitive backdoor code in the add-on, but had also admitted to using it in at least some cases, while giving contradictory explanations about its purpose and reality. The article argued that the issue was worsened by reluctance to remove the code, inconsistent public statements, and pressure tactics toward Realm Hub staff, and it advised the community not to use the add-on unless it is fully audi
Following further investigation, MCBE News presents an updated report on the Vex Essentials add-on. This update confirms past use of a controversial backdoor, developer pressure tactics, and inconsistent statements from its creator.

When asked to remove leftover code tied to the "Punish" menu, Vex Essentials creator Gameza responded:
"I could"
"But as I said I'm kind of lazy and that would take more time for me"
This was not confusion. It was a refusal to resolve a known and documented risk.

Despite claiming it was "fake," Gameza openly admitted to using the backdoor to retaliate against unauthorized use of Vex Premium:
"My real intentions with this backdoor was to punish, or disable illegal vex premium versions…"
"we only made use of this menu with 1 realm and 1 server…"
"we only use the fill memory or message spam to let the user know they need to remove the pack forever."
These quotes remove any doubt: the menu was real, functional, and used.
Gameza's narrative has shifted repeatedly. Initially denying real usage, he later stated:
"i can say that ill grief more realms and servers in the future but you cant prove that"
"i can say whatever i want, but you dont have proof of it working or doing anything illegal"
"its all about 'ACTIONS' not words guys"
Even his own admins were unaware of the menu's presence:
"my admins were really mad, because they didnt even knew about the fake punish menu…"
When questioned by community member ˢˡᵃᵘʰ, he was reminded:
"you left parts of the code in vex and said you nuked 5 realms and then switched to 2"
These contradictions demonstrate an ongoing lack of transparency.
Following the first article, Realm Hub staff were met with threats. Among them:
"so you have 1 day to make the announcement, otherwise ill make my own article… you lose your trust and credibility…"
"on the other hand, if you ignore this, then my response wont be that good for you"
Despite repeated legal threats, no action has been taken to date, raising serious doubts over the legitimacy of these claims. The pressure appears to serve as a silencing tactic, not a legal remedy.
This situation could have been resolved peacefully through transparency and accountability. Instead, it was met with contradictions, threats, and an admitted history of backdoor usage.
Until Vex Essentials is publicly audited and all punitive code removed, MCBE News strongly advises against using the add-on on any realm or server.
Community safety and trust must come first.
