Alright so I join a server, and all the sudden the owner tells me where I live (it's true) and says he knows my ip and can hack me, but he says it's what Bukkit essentials gives him, is this true? and if it is, how can I stop this hacker?
It actually isn't as hard as you may think to get someones IP address. I don't know if bukkit essentials gave it to him or not but don't stress out about this. It is probably just a 12 year old on the internet trying to scare you.

I wouldn't worry about it. He does sound like a 12 year old. it is easy to hack people when you get an IP though. So i suggest not to gamble, dont go back on his server if you dont feel comfortable.

So Im guessing Bukkit does give you an IP of everyone everytime you go on?
It is a part of Bukkit, I think. When someone logs on, all mods+ are notified of where they live. This is so if they get banned, staff will know if they're trying to log back in with an alternate account. If you're worried about being hacked, just avoid that server.
Not specifically what Bukkit Essentials gives him, but when you connect to someone’s server the other person can easily hack you since you’re connected to him. That also means you can hack them as well.
I've seen this before he is probably messing with u
How, when he knows my City (he told me what it was and it was correct), my Email (again, told me and was correct), my phone number, and my IP address, huh?

Huh... well, to be on the safe side, you should sleep with a couple of sharp kitchen knives and keep a crowbar under your pillow in the next week or so.

An IP address can be tracked down to a person's location. The email address, though...

This is very bad, I hope your kinding because Im truly as scarred as heck right now, I have know how Idea how he has gained this information but there has to be something to do to get him trouble.Can't he go to jail for this? Can't he access my parents bank account? what do I do!
I was on another server and he said he had a server so I asked for the IP and joined, than got told all this by him.
Just remembered he told me that he turned phone number and email off on the Bukkit Essentials thing, but said he knew my email.I asked him what was it and he says all he knew was "it ends with @hotmail.com!", which of course is what most people use, but mine nor my parents end with that so turns out he doesn't know it, just gotta make sure I don't log back in so he can get a chance to.

Hotmail isn't used by most people. Gmail and stuff are generally more popular.

To be honest.... if someone knew all of my personal info, I'd be hiding a crowbar under my pillow. If it's really this serious, you *could* talk to the Bukkit creators, or notify authorities... they take threats seriously. Or, you could, again, completely avoid that server, as they can't really connect to you at all if you do.

This information is insanely easy to gain. I usually just run IPs through DNSstuff if I need to know a location.

There's no way to figure out someone's phone number from them logging onto a server.
Chances are, they have some plugin installed where they can tell what city your IP is coming from. But I wouldn't be worried, he's probably messing with you. However, if things begin to get dangerous, ask the person what hoster he uses for his server (unless it's run from his computer). If he does use a hoster, contact it and report him. If the kid can get into your parents' bank account, I would advise them to change their security information and just to be safe, cancel their credit cards. But that's only if you suspect this person really knows everything about you. Which they probably don't.

I don't use this account anymore. My new one is called "fluorescent!"

Your probably right, I mean how could he tell my phone number and email just from joining the server?
I just posted something concerning the matter on Bukkit's forums, let's hope they are able to figure it out.I'm almost 100% sure this guy is a kid though, so if that is the case I know he is trying to mess with me.

Good. Everything's normal, no hacking.

It's not illegal in the slightest.
