New Minecraft Server

[EpsilonX]

playing on the GF server atm, i might swing by and check this out, but there's a certain satisfaction in digging/climbing your way somewhere and building something by hand that is lost with modding

only mod enabled is flying.

only mod enabled is flying.

That's equal to cheating and finding areas. You might as well allow people to spawn items and rare stones then...

[Jokersvirus]

Its only cheating to those who dont like using mods. We have two worlds creative and legit. well they can spawn items in the creative world once they hit a certain rank they cant in legit.

You seem so upset over this, you mad wicked?

admins and mods on gf can spawn items isnt that cheating as well?

ALSO if mod = cheating that means texture packs are cheating as well since it modifies the environment around you.

[EpsilonX]

You have to use common sense. Changing the appearance of things, but everything still having the same functionality, isn't cheating. Using a mod to fly to areas in the world you wouldn't otherwise be able to get to without a lot more effort is completely different.

Everyone has a difference in how a server should be ran in all honestly I like servers that allow me to fly the sky is the limit when building instead of having to build up walk ways to the sky. If people hate the server they dont have to come to it nor make such statements as what wicked did. There is no such thing as cheating since really this game isnt like Black ops, Halo Reach or any other game out there. In all reality Minecraft is a game based on doing stuff the way YOU want to, not based off a pre defined set of rules that can get you banned. If you run a server its YOUR server and YOU are in control so you define the rules and everything else.


So in reality if you own a server and define the rules how is that cheating if YOU are the one setting the rules?
It would seem to be that people are allowing their own bias to take over and make judgement on this matter. Meaning since Wicked does not like the server he is deeming it cheating because his server has no mods on it.

[EpsilonX]

What he said. I don't like using mods, i wanna play the game naturally.

[Jokersvirus]

No one is forcing you to use mods its an open choice you can make within the world if you wanna fly the option is there if not walk around.

Personally, I only use Fly to help build so I don't have to creep at the edge of my 100 block tall tower, it really helps my building skill.
I don't think it's a huge deal. It can't help you find ores, first of all. Those are all underground. What does it do? Fast travel, I guess. Is that that bad? Helps people build, is that that bad?

^ Exactly. I'd most likely be burnt out on MC by now if I had no mods.. I don't consider it cheating so much as a 'fun enhancement'. Everybody plays differently, and there are plenty of servers out there that cater to those different playstyles.
