no cheating

Anything that gives an advantage beyond normal inputs or vanilla information: combat assists (killaura, triggerbot, aim assist), movement hacks (speed, fly, step), reach or hitbox edits, x-ray and similar vision mods, auto-mining or auto-totem, and scripts that automate gameplay. Many servers also treat dupes and exploit abuse as cheating even if it is possible in vanilla.

Often yes, because they do not change combat or information, but it is server-specific. If a mod alters what you can see or know (ores, entities, tracers) or changes how you fight (targeting, blocking, click automation), expect it to be banned.

Coordinate and FPS displays are usually fine. Minimap rules vary: some allow a basic map with no entity radar, others ban minimaps entirely because tracking players and caves changes PvP and exploration. Always check the server rules before joining a competitive world.

Usually not. Repeating inputs for you can swing both PvP and grinding, even if it seems minor. Some servers allow limited accessibility binds, but anything that sustains clicks or automates actions is commonly treated as cheating.

On better servers, a flag leads to rubberbanding, temporary limits, or staff review, not an instant ban. They look for patterns over time and separate high ping from consistent impossible movement. If a server hard-bans on borderline flags, expect a rough experience unless your connection is perfect.

No. It matters just as much for survival and economy. When automation and dupes are controlled, items keep value longer, grinders and shops feel fair, and progression is less about who can run the most efficient external tools.
