Please! I think a lot of people on the server (ZZ) wants to use the minimap mod
One of them is LaLaRichter :'D

No telling lies about the LaLa! You know very well I told you that I am against allowing minimaps. I think they make the game too easy. So there's my two cents on the matter.

Here is our conversation that I just pulled from my logs,

[ChemicalMuffinXD]

I tought you meant, Though I'm against them too xd Like if you wanted minimap XDD

[Zedwick]

Torture, hmm?

The rule is: Any mods which would give you an advantage over other players is not allowed. So if you can, with a change to your client, see a lava pool to your right or a patch of exposed ore on the surface just over the hill or even mobs nearby then that would give you an increased awareness over your fellow Zedlings.

it will be easier to find places and stuff

Could make the same argument for X-ray mods, as it would make it easier to find ores and stuff

So no, you may not use minimap mods on Zedwork.

[ChemicalMuffinXD]

Heheh

Yea but I mean with the Minimap you could set your home location and then if you go far away and want to get a horse with you back you can use minimap as help :3
But yeah, you are the owner so you decide what people on zedwork can use and not use

[Zedwick]

I'm a firm believer in getting lost as a core experience in vanilla Minecraft.

[Einhaender]

While were on the topic of mods, would the Inventory Tweaks mod be allowed?
Features as listed by the minecraft wiki

Automatically replace your tools as they break, and item stacks once emptied
Sort your inventory and chests in a single click/keystroke
Customize entirely the way your inventory is sorted, thanks to intuitive configuration files
Various powerful shortcuts to move items around

So pretty much all it does is help OCD people sort their chests and let lazy people refill their hot bar without opening their inventory. It doesn't give people who use it an advantage, but to be on the safe side, I thought I'd ask.

[Zedwick]

So you're battling a creeper and two zombies, but in the last moment your sword breaks; you frantically try to back down the cave when you remember, you cleverly packed another sword! You open your inventory, locate the sword and move it into your slotbar and BOOM! You died. Ouch. Oh, but you coulda cheated and had the second sword magically appear in your hand as if the first had never broken? pffffft.

There's plenty of moments where such magical powers could give you an advantage other players don't get, it may sound like not much but it's still a mod which alters gameplay to your advantage. Even chest organising, as annoying as it may be, is part of the game which players build redstone contraptions to unburden themselves from.

So I would say no, you may not use Inventory Tweaks.
