This is oddly specific, but I played on a Minecraft server that revolved around a Pokémon mod and discovered that using a certain block in conjunction with a specific modded one would always hard crash the entire server. Because of the way the game saves player inventory instantly but map data only once a minute, that makes it possible to reliably duplicate huge numbers of items. When I tried to report it to staff I had to argue to get them to take the report in private instead of posting it in open chat where everyone could see it. When I left the server a few months later because the admin was kind of a dick and the whole server was obnoxiously pay to win, it was very tempting to set up a bunch of nearly undetectable server crashing contraptions (I didn’t, but damn it was tempting).
