No hacked clients

Anything that gives an advantage over a standard client: combat automation (killaura, aim assist), altered reach or hit behavior, anti-knockback/velocity, flight and speed, scaffold, timer, auto-totem, and information cheats like X-ray, ESP, and tracers. If it changes combat outcomes, movement limits, or what you can know, it is typically bannable.

Often yes, as long as they do not add advantage. Performance and visual mods are commonly fine, while information and automation features are the usual line. Minimap radar, freecam, macros, and schematic assistance may be restricted or allowed only with certain settings. Server rules matter more than what a mod claims to be.

Most combine server-side anticheat (movement and packet checks, combat pattern detection) with staff spectating and evidence from reports. Strong moderation looks for repeat behavior and context, since subtle cheats can slip through and aggressive checks can flag laggy players.

Because losses and wins make sense. When you die, it is usually positioning, resource management, coordination, or gear, not a suspicious reach gap. That keeps rivalries, raids, and any kind of ranking from turning into a client arms race.

Lag can trigger flags, especially in fast PvP, but well-run servers avoid permanent bans from a single detection. Expect occasional setbacks or checks on unstable connections, and look for servers that review evidence and offer appeals.
