Utility clients allowed

Client changes that improve UI, information, or performance without taking actions for you: minimaps and waypoints, HUD modules, inventory sorting, armor and potion timers, coordinate displays, replay and chat tools, and optimization mods. The exact line is server-specific, so rely on their posted rules or mod list.

Not automatically. Some servers tolerate a client platform that can run both utility and cheat modules, but only the utility features are permitted. Using xray, auto-hit, aim assist, reach, or other combat and gathering advantages can still get you banned even if the base client is allowed.

Cleaner and less random. More players track timers, durability, and effects accurately, so fights hinge more on movement, spacing, and choosing good engagements than on who forgets a cooldown or misses information the vanilla UI hides.

In competitive scenes, usually yes. Utility tools reduce small errors and speed up routine decisions like navigation, gear management, and timing. You can still win, but you are choosing to do more work under the same pressure.

Often the minimap is fine, but radar is where many servers draw the line. Radar can turn into free tracking and changes how roaming and hiding work. If the rules do not clearly allow it, assume radar is disallowed and ask staff.
