Mod Use?

Just wondering, are we allowed to use any mods such as step (so we do not have to hit space every time) or things such as a brightness mod?

________________________________

My space button doesn't always work so that's why I'm asking about step.

 

Well I think brightness is alright but I don't think the autostepping is, anything that gives an advantage over players is not allowed.

 

@Selvut283, you heard em, space button is broken. Exception this time? I feel thats fair.

 

I dunno about autostepping, broken spacebar or not, but brightness mod is fine, I bet. You could always try setting your jump to a different key.

 

Exception to one player because they have a computer that most likely has space button broken, sticky keys, or even a computer that isn't meant for gaming constantly jumping...... If there's an exception for one, exception for all.

 

ah ok.

 

1) This is the first time that I've heard of a step mod, so, without a link, I don't know what else is in it, and without that information, I'll make a bet that the answer is "no". Would you care to provide a link, please? This is the common reply to questions about mods that you will read on the forums.
2) As @Oniontone said, you can reprogram keys in MC, so you can use a different key than the space bar.
3) As @MajesticMaj said, brightness mods should be OK, but they may ruin the mood that the builders set.
4) If you don't want to reprogram a key in MC to act as your spacebar, and as your spacebar is acting up, clean your keyboard. Go on the 'net, and learn how to remove various keys and clean them.
5) If cleaning the spacebar doesn't work, keyboards are as little as $7.00 (US). Buy a new one. I hate it when a keyboard fails - I replace it and move on.

 

What about mini-map mods

 

You are allowed to use those as long as entity/player radars are disabled.

 

Brightness you can already do without mods, so it's best to not use a mod for that.

As for step, I've only ever known that to be a feature on hacked clients, not mods, so if that's what you meant, no.

 

I think step is part of the smart movement mod

 

This mod? I don't see any way in the world that any mod would say that that would be OK to use. It vastly changes so much movement, it lets you climb any vines, it lets you walk on ceilings, etc., etc.. It definitely falls under the unfair advantages category. And even if you could turn off everything else EXCEPT the option to move without a working space bar key, there is no reason to allow it that I can see. Not with the other options available.

It's time to play Tag-A-Mod! @Oculus, would you weigh in on this, please?

 

That mod doesn't actually work on multiplayer servers, it's not a client side mod...

Also, really, I don't see how auro stepping would give an advantage... it doesn't auto parkour, and it doesn't really make you go up hills any faster...

Quite honestly, I personally don't see the issue here truly...

 

If it's not client side, then it can't be the mod the OP was asking about, unless the OP is confused about the mod.
Stepping isn't the problem if it only lets the player change the distance that they step, within the normal step range, I agree. It's the other things that are almost always included in these kinds of mods that are the problem - climbing non-attached vines, etc., that give movement and access advantages to players, that will make the mod fail the unfair advantage test. HOWEVER, if all those other options can be turned off, then it must be up to the mods if they want to approve the MC mod, and from the rule, they probably will say OK if unfair capabilities can be turned off. If they can't be turned off, then we already know that the answer will be "not allowed". The rule is 'no unfair advantages', which should be adhered to, so, until we know what the mod actually is, and can take a look at it, no one can give the OP fair advice. To be on the safe side, if I didn't know if the mod was allowed or not, I'd ask first. But we don't even know, yet, what the mod is, and that makes it hard to give the OP a fair answer. I'd rather say "no" until I know what it is, and NOT create a problem for myself, then say "yes", and then find out that "yes" was definitely the wrong answer.

 

Your spacebar doesn't work? I have the mod for you! It works and is compatible for servers like Wynncraft!

Step Mod

 

Every mod that adds those other things, are not client side mods, thus they can't be used on a server, what this person is talking about, is a mod that when they are next to a block, it will auto jump up the block, like in Pocket Edition...

The only things that have all of those functions, and are accessable on servers, are hacks/hack clients. That is what you're thinking about in this case (maybe not literally, but basically, that's what you're confusing them for)

Unless a mod is client side, it cannot be used on a server, unless it would be a hack, in which case, that wouldn't be allowed, and I know that. But what they are talking about, is a mod that automatically jumps up a block when they walk up to it, seeing as how their spacebar doesn't work.

 

Is there a mod that automatically jumps a player up a block, with any other functions disableable? If there is, then according to the rules, it should be OK, shouldn't it? I'd be afraid off jumping up until I fell into some darn pit of lava or one filled with hostile mobs.

 

*sigh* you're not really understanding it...

The mods, even if you can disable those other functions, are not able to be used in servers, reason being, the server doesn't have the mod, if that mod is client side, then the only function it will have, is either things that just affect things in Vanilla, such as jumping, sprinting, etc. Or something that only the user of the mod can see. Thus meaning, that if there is a mod that is clientside, and isn't a hack, it is allowed, being that it will not allow them to climb walls, and all that.

 

Well, now, everyone knows that I share a few things with Elmer. Geez, sometimes I just need the darn page and paragraph pointed out. OK!, Now I get it! I think. I hope. Mods will only work client-side unless the server has the mod, so it would be useless. Anything that would allow the player to actually move automatically in game is a hack, and not allowed. Did I finally get it right?

LOL!

Thanks, Hoke!

 

It could count as hacking... I think all players should not have mods, so it is fair.
