A challenge that's actually a challenge

[cymraeg]

To spite JackJack33 for muting me, I've decided to make a challenge much better than his.

The first to solve gets VIP for themselves or another account.

Start with this image file.

Trent nose be big

There

Honestly I doubt that I'll complete this, I think I solved the first thing(finding the code to decode), but I can't find the second.

Ok, does the code resemble letters or should I say the plain code itself

the text is completely irrelevant.

[cymraeg]

ok, here's a hint. STEP 1. DOWNLOAD THE IMAGE AND OPEN IT IN A TEXT EDITOR.

Jackson you are correct

Correction can only be done with wite out

You do realise when you upload a picture to the forums, the text you wrote in the texteditor will be gone? I tried that for my puzzle but it didn't work.

[cymraeg]

fixed it

So in the file there was a encrypted link.

ykkgj://nnn.uifgsfo.tfd/j/1b2r4nbnrm5i6qv/ffy%20wretp%21.gex?uc=1

I decrypted it to following downloadlink:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1k2a4wkwav5r6ze/ooh fancy!.png?dl=1

 

PS: These are the original and "decrypted" letters:

a=j; b=k; c=l; d=m; e=n; f=o; g=p; h=q; i=r; j=s; k=t; l=u; m=v; n=w; o=x; p=y; q=z; r=a; s=b; t=c; u=d; v=e; w=f; x=g; y=h; z=i;

That Downloadlink brings you to a very smoll ( 22x1 Pixel) Image with some colours. I suggest the hex-code of these colours give another (encrypted?) message

Edit: the Hexcodes of these Colours are

687474 70733A 2F2F77 77772E 64726F 70626F 782E63 6F6D2F 732F6C 773031 6B6839 643561 393665 6A772F 616C6D 6F7374 253230 746865 726525 32313F 646C3D 312323

I smashed them into a hex to text translater and it gave out following downloadlink:

what is powys it dosnt seem to be a minehut server

it is but the command (/code 7835194) didn't work there, so I think it's something external from this MincehutServer

 

So I'll continue working on my Server now instead of the code.

Feel free whoever cracks this to claim the VIP and then tell us how you decrypted it. or not.

I guess he forgot to code the command (/code) in

Or these random numbers are supposed to be something else

 

Or coords idk, 783 5 194 may be a good start

Ok, as no progress has been made since Thursday, here's the answer. Any results from further on will be ignored.

 

See "julius says" in the original image? Well, my other server is caesarpvp. Entering the code on that server will result with the link https://bit.ly/powysfs which will download a file containing an ISO 631-9 Code "br". This is the language code for Breton, a language spoken in France. In that file, it says the final answer is the language group, which is "celtic".
