4 years ago

I use optifine (for obivous reasons), I also use badlion client just for the better frames, I don't use full bright, or waypoints, or anything like that, is that considered cheating? totally fine if so

Canada

read mod rules in the game rules section for optifine. Badlion is banned.

@Baked_Been Quote from SpeedNintendo: "...we're banning optifine for VARIOUS reasons. One major one being that no matter what, fog in optifine is like 2.5x further than in vanilla. And no combination of settings can fix that. Providing a huge and unfair advantage..." Referring to how prominent fog is in the nether and removing it (by using optifine/badlion) is basically extra render distance on top of the max, providing an unfair advantage to anyone who uses it and disadvantage to those who don't.
