Optifine Mod

[DarkDeep88]

Hey! I am DarkDeep88 and I got the "Optifine Mod" I got it for youtube.. Anyway I was just wondering if it's against the rules to have it? I run the "Optifine Mod" On Forge so is that against the rules? I will turn it off if I need to.

It's totally fine to use the Optifine mod on our servers. As long as the mod does not give you an advantage above other players, you are allowed to use it. I will provide the list of allowed mods below.

Quoted from the rules:

2. No Hacked or Modded clients are allowed EVER: Mods that give unfair advantages are not allowed.

• Any suspicion of using a client can earn a temp ban or a permanent ban depending on the situation. Even discussing hacked clients on our servers is worthy of a tempban.
• Anything outside of a vanilla client that provides an unfair advantage (x-ray, minimap, radars, force fields, speedhacking, better sprint mod, ect.) is considered a modded or hacked client!
• A detailed list of the mods we do not allow will be provided.
• If you use mods to increase your FPS or textures like the watermod, it's OK! We just don't like the ones where you modify your character's performance.
• If you are caught or the administration has suspicion of you using hacks, your ranking and leaderboard scores are subject to be reset to the defaults.
• Admitting to using a modded/hacked client, even jokingly, will result in a ban
• If you are unsure if a certain mod is allowed or not, as a staff member before using it.
• This includes modifying files in your .minecraft to give a advantage such as increasing the gamma to give effect of full bright.

Allowed Mods list:

• Optifine
• Shaders Mod or "GLSL Shaders"
• Toomanyitems
• Armorstatus
• Directionhub
• Multiplayer profiles mod
• Macros Mod [only for staff since normal members can use it to break rules]
• Camera Studio
• Animated Players Mod

This list will update over time.

Any mods not posted on the mods list should be verified with staff before using.
