Approved/Blacklisted Mods List

Official Approved/Blacklisted Mods List


This thread is a rundown on “Approved” and “illegal” mods on skybounds. If you have any questions about the mods or want more detail about them, feel free to ask.

Some mods could possibly not be listed, at that point it's a use at your own risk. If you are ever unsure about a mod, don’t hesitate to ask a staff member about it or go with the safe route and just don’t use the mod altogether.

Note: Please keep in mind that this list is subject to change as the SavageGames staff teams determines specific modifications to be considered approved or illegal. It is suggested to keep an active eye on this thread if you are actively or planning on potentially using modifications on your Minecraft client.

Blacklisted Modifications

(Mods that will result in a punishment if in use.)


• Hacked Clients •
Hacked Clients are clients that have multiple modifications that provide unfair advantages. These are clients such as LiquidBounce, Wurst, Vape, Huzuni, etc. If any client you are looking at says "Cheats", "Hacks", or "Hacked" you'll want to avoid them or be at risk of being permanently banned off of any SavageGames servers.


• Hacked Mods/"Hacks" •
"Hacked Mods" are mods that are considered to, overall, provide unfair advantages. The amount of mods that should be a part of this list is an incredible amount, so they will not all be listed here. However, some of the most common ones used are KillAura, Aimbot, Anti-Knockback, NoFall, Speed, BunnyHopping, and so on. These mods are generally known for providing incredible advantages when it comes to PvPing and, if found using any of these kinds of mods, will result in a ban.


• BetterPvP •
BetterPvP is a mod similar to JustPvP, however, specific features in this mod that aren't in JustPvP are considered illegal and make the mod considered illegal. These features include QuickItemUse, EntityInfo, MiniMap Entities, and more.


• X-Ray Mods/TexturePacks •
Xray Mods allows players to specify block-types that they want to focus on through walls/blocks (such as ores, chests, spawners, etc.). Texture packs used for this purpose are also considered illegal and will result in being banned.


• Autoclickers (Mod/Mouse/Keyboard) •
Any mods or mouse/keyboard buttons/keybinds that allow you to "AutoClick" are not allowed. If you are not at your computer, clicking your mouse, it is considered illegal and will result in a ban. If you have a mod set to click a specific of number of times per second, it is not allowed and will result in a ban.


• External Damage Indicators •
Skybounds has an internal Damage/Health Indicator already in use on the server. Any use of an external damage/health indicator is unnecessary and will be considered illegal.


• Macros/Keybinds •
Macros and Keybinds are mods/scripts that are considered illegal due to being able to keybind specific keys/actions that could potentially provide unfair advantages when PvPing and/or island play.


• Badlion Client •
Badlion Client has toggle sprint/ sneak within it that is considered illegal on the server making it so this client is not allowed. Along with this it sends packets to and from the client making it so we can’t deem safe thus, making it not allowed.


• Inventory Tweaks •
Inventory Tweaks is a mod that allows you to sort your inventory/chests, as well as "restock" your hotbar items when you run out of a specific item but have more inside of your inventory. Due to the second part, this mod is considered illegal.


• Waila/Wawla •
Although this mod only shows you what block you're looking at, it also includes Health Indicators, making this mod considered illegal to use.


• Perspective Mod •
Perspective Mod allows you to look around in any direction while still running in a straight line which could give you an
advantage of knowing where a player is while not being obvious, making this mod illegal to use.


• Hyperium •
Hyperium Client has the perspective mod within it which allows you to look around in any direction while still running in a straight line that is considered illegal on the server making it so this client is not allowed.


• LabyMod •
LabyMod send packets to and from the client, these packets can be used for multiple things. Due to said packets we cannot deem them as safe thus, making LabyMod illegal to use here on the Savage Games Network.

Approved Modifications

(Mods you can safely use on SavageGames)


• LiteLoader/Forge •
These Mods are necessary for installing and running specific mods. They have no effect on your Minecraft gameplay.


• Optifine •
Optifine is a Minecraft optimization mod that allows you to manage your FPS/configurations to make your client run smoother and look better.


• 5-zig/Armor Status/Effect Status •
These are modifications that allow the player to view their armor/effect status outside of their inventory GUI.


• JustPvP *** •
This is a modification that includes many different mods such as 5-Zig, VoxelMap, BetterSprint
(ToggleSpring/Sneak), FullBright, and WorldDownload. When using this please make sure to turn off entity tracking on VoxelMap as that is against the rules here at SavageGames, if found using it it will result in a punishment!


• BetterSprint *** •
This mod allows you to toggle your sprint/crouch button indefinitely. Versions of BetterSprint that allow you to run backwards, open your inventory/escape menu/chat menu while crouching are illegal and will result in a ban if you are found using these features.


• Schematica •
The mod allows you to display a hologram, loaded from the schematic file, for easier rebuilding. The only illegal part of this modification (printer) has been disabled on the server.


• NotEnoughItems (NEI) & JustEnoughItems(JEI) •
This mod allows you to view the crafting recipes of vanilla items through the Inventory GUI. The mods
required in order to run this mod (CodeChickenLib/Core) are also fine to use.


• Keystrokes •
This modification shows you your specific keystrokes when PvPing (which buttons you are clicking and when).


• Minimaps/Waypoints *** •
Minimaps add a small minimap GUI typically in the corner of your Minecraft screen. Waypoints allow you to save
coordinates/show a beacon at specific coordinates. Minimaps that allow you to see/track entities are illegal
and will result in a ban if caught using these features.


• TabbyChat •
TabbyChat is a mod that allows you to organize and separate your chat into different tabs. i.e. Island chat, Global
chat, Trade chat, PMs, etc. The mod that is required to use this (MnM Utils) is also allowed.


• Shaders Mods •
Shaders Mods are client modifications which change the visual appearance of the game to make it more
aesthetically pleasing.


• JitterClicking/ButterflyClicking •
This is not a mod, however, due to the amount of talk going on about it, it will be listed here anyways. We feel as
though, if you are actually at your computer clicking your mouse, then it should be allowed. In other words,
"Butterfly Clicking" and "Jitter Clicking" are legal techniques to use when PvPing.


• Light Level Overlay •
This mod shows you the light level of the surrounding blocks, making it easier to space out lighting to prevent mob
spawning.


• Chunk Indicators •
This mod allows you to view chunk boundaries, making it easier to create efficient redstone contraptions or
mob grinder/farm.


• 1.7 Animations •
Don't like 1.8+ animations? This is the mod for you!



***: Modifications listed with asterisks mean that there are potentially illegal features a part of these mods.
Please be sure to read through these sections thoroughly if you are considering downloading these mods.

Well this post is actually an updated version of all the blacklisted mods posts. All the mods are "use at own risk" someone willing to risk using a client thats not allowed is their own fault. Along with that some of the clients send loads of packets and the server will detect it.

 

There is more than just what he had put, yes most of it was his but I was asked to move his thread away as it was older and make an updated one. There is some of the ones he had added that we switched up a bit, comments were added to ones he had never answered. If you feel there is more to be added or changed, I’m definitely open for suggestions. Things can always be edited :)
