Hotkeys

Is using the side buttons on a mouse considered hacking? People say it's considered macros and is bannable. Just want to clarify before I pick which mouse I buy. Thanks.

There's a difference between using hotkeys and using macros.


Hotkeys: Assigning or using a button for a separate function.
For example, a Razer Naga has 12 independent buttons on the side (#1-12). To use it as a hotkey would be like pressing the 1 key to switch to your sword, or the 4 key to switch to your golden apple.
Also, if you are able to customize your mouse settings (Such as with Razer Synapse), then you can reassign the 1 key on a mouse such as the Naga to "3", in order to switch to your Fishing Rod easily.


Macros: Assigning multiple functions to a single button.
Again, using the Razer Naga example - If you reassigned the 1 key to automatically press "3"->"right click"->"1" in order to quickly cast a fishing rod or use an FNS, then that is a macro.
Also, if you assign it to do something like spam the left or right click buttons, then that is also considered a macro - or in this case, we call it "Auto-clicker."


Hotkeys = Allowed
Macros = Not Allowed

Also, Macros Mod (for Minecraft) is not allowed. (Unless you're a staff member using it for chat macros.)


Edit: Here's an example of what it looks like when someone is using a Fishing Rod macro:
