Regardless of what it contains, any pirated client is harmful. It does not have to directly affect a server to do so, also. That is the truth.

Your perspective is completely understandable, as are everyone else's.

My point is that if someone has a hacked client to use for something like AimBot, what makes you think they won't use anything else? Even if that person is someone who is very trusted and respected, it's still not justifiable.

Mod's that provide the same features I am perfectly fine with. I am not against things like x-ray, for instance, I am against hacked clients, because they are illegal in the real-world.

 

Okay, basically, your saying that hack cilents are illegal in the whole minecraft world, right?

 

Essentially, I mean, if you can somehow tell me how stealing someone else's work and illegally distributing it is alright, then yes.

I couldn't give less of a damn if you had a mod that allowed you to phase through walls- but, I would take offence if it was a whole different client, obtained through illegal means.

 

No support, hack clients are very useful and you need minecraft to run most of them.
But anyway Rex has said everything I would have said.

 

It's not a hacked client if you need MineCraft to run it.. ._.
That's a mod.
A hacked client is a duplicate version of MineCraft that's unpaid for.

 

Still. Wouldn't Mojang themselves say something about it?

 

My hack client needs minecraft to run it. It is still a client, not a mod.

 

They've already done so in the past, and I'm sure if I asked they would respond with a more elaborate version of what I have posted.

That's.. not a client. If you need MineCraft to run it, it's a mod. Hint; you're modifying the game, not duplicating it to produce a hacked client.

 

so your saying... if our client like... weepcraft goes through minecraft, its a mod?
as in


a stand alone client
vs-
a client that goes through minecraft where you pick what version your using


am i right? if so, most of us go through minecraft. and we (especially me) has been confused this whole time. 0.0

 

A hack client has built in mods that do a lot of different things but it is still a hack client...
hint: you can easily download these hack clients here

 

So you are saying mod launches are illegal?

 

Keyword "hack". Look it up.

 

i think... he means like bukkit or tekkit or whatever 0.0

 

e,e

That's a launcher, not a client.
Why is everyone getting so off topic.

 

Its not off topic. You said a hack client is a duplicate of someone's work..

 

A launcher isn't a duplicate of someone's work though, lol. It's only altered, not copied and distributed without permission.

 

Read what you wrote. You stated that altering or copying someone's work is illegal. Lol. No support

 

A hack client is just a bunch of mods in it though, hack clients when first made were used to hack and grief but times have changed for almost hack clients, now they are made to enhance game play but they still called hack clients.
I don't think you have the proper definition of hack clients which are practically legal and okay to use; if what you are saying is true Mojang would of done something about it.

 

I know what I wrote. Maybe I should define it for you, to get it through your thick skull, yes?
Altering - Changing a copyrighted product ( which MineCraft is ) to gain advantages.
Copying - Producing copies of a copyrighted product ( I think we all know that MineCraft is copyrighted ) for harmful purposes, usually profits, or protest.
Better?

Something like this cannot be "practically" legal. It's either illegal or it's not, and right now, from what I've seen, it's not.

You know, maybe we're all just wording our responses wrong, that's why none of us can agree. Look back at what Grace said, and you'll see what I mean.

 

still no support. either
1- allow the safe clients, ban the harmful ones
2- make mods illegal for reason of altering minecrafts codes/folders to alter gameplay, in ways that will enhance experience or allow cheating/ or unfair gameplay/advantages, as the clients do.

that is fair, to the players and the server, and all coincides with the original post.
take out clients for violating mojang AND for unfair advantages, and mods for unfair advantages.
ohh, to edit in- Altering - Changing a copyrighted product ( which MineCraft is ) to gain advantages.
