Hey guys, I'm starting up a little private 5 man SMP server for my friends. I noticed that when running the mod that must not be named, we all agreed not to spawn in anything but pretty soon we were all cheating like crazy in NEI, flying around in creative mode, changing it to daytime to avoid monsters, and generally ruining the long-term fun in exchange for short term shenanigans. Is there a way to disable the "Cheat Mode" in NEI and limit it only to Recipe mode or Utility mode? It seems that NEI's "Cheat Mode" is the prime facilitator of cheating here. I want players to be able to fly or whatever if they craft an item that allows them to do so, but I want to keep the server legit. How do I disable this? Our willpower is not strong enough to avoid cheating if the tools are one click away.

You can change the server.properties file to allow flight and to change the spawn area size (among many other useful things). See below for more:

You can set the spawn-protection to 0 in the server.properties file.
The spawn-protection line is right above the motd (message of the day) line, if you can find it just add this line in your server.properties file: spawn-protection=0

Yes.
/config/NEI.cfg:
Code:
#For those who can't help themselves
#Set this to a mode and you will be unable to change it ingame
lockmode=-1
NEI is really a really evil mod that way. always tempting one to make a shortcut when a task seems a bit tedious.
The thing is, and I don't know if anyone else feels the same:
Once you have crossed the cheat threshold, that world no longer feels as clean and valuable as it was before resorting to a cheat. even if the cheat was done only to regain something lost to a bug or other.
OTOH i often use a discarded world to test things out in. cheating is not the sole reason for abandoning a world after all. NEI is real good to have when moving a world from survival and over to a more creative mode.
Actually I'm pretty sure you can't fully disable spawn protection in vanilla servers. Setting the spawn-protection to 0, actually sets just the actual spawn block to protected, then increasing the number increases the radius away from spawn that is protected, eg. 1 will set a 3x3 square, 3 would set a 7x7 square, 100 would be 201x201 etc.
