Too Much Free Time
Personally I'd say its out of game context.
Its based on the debug screen/GPS rather than in-game based navigation.
You also get it right from the off, with optional floating markers/beacon beams telling you where everything is- over actually building markers/landmarks.
@ThatOneSlowking Can I point out this was a discussion about cheating, not about MC being realistic.You also get it right from the off, with optional floating markers/beacon beams telling you where everything is- over actually building markers/landmarks.
Cheating implies that there are universal set of rules in Minecraft... and, pro tip, there isn't. Servers have their own rules, players may set their own rules, but Minecraft itself doesn't have any rules... So it's not cheating, it's breaking Your own rules.

Precisely. That was rather well said if you don't mind me saying so.
We each have our own sets of rules; and generally can consider breaking one's own rules a form of cheating.Ultimately this just boils down to a difference of opinions; not saying yours is wrong in the same way I'm not saying mine is right- its more looking into the reasons behind our opinions.

Cheating [for me] is using some out of game context/solution to solve an ingame problem that has an ingame solution.
A classic example would be using an Xray hack to solve limited ores/resources.- cave diving and quarries would be the in-game solutions.
With minimaps, waypoints, ect you have a GPS giving your exact location based on an out of context system (coordinates on a debug screen), which is given freely from the start with absolutely no ingame cost or context.
In game solution? Vanilla maps aren't that useful, but the compass is brilliant for working out your location (this has an ingame cost, and takes a little skill), as well as building monuments/landmarks ect.
(If theres a mod that'll display the vanilla maps like a minimap or something similar I probably won't consider it cheating)

If you're filming a tutorial/LP- turn off your waypoints.
White text floating everywhere - kinda distracting.
Seriously though- knowing the position of aura nodes, dungeons, and your last death is always useful when you're showing us some AE autocrafting...

Those diagonal lines on vanilla and some modded glass... arghh why? Even on connected texture glass >.<
If you really need to indicate that there is something other than air there, why not tone the glass slightly or something. Those lines are SO damn ugly.

You want to know something that really pisses me off? Chickens. I hate how they glitch into fences. It's not like other things that simply glitch through in certain conditions, chickens walk up to a fence and get stuck. They literally can't move. Even if you hold seeds or wear a flower band or whatever. This ancient bug is my biggest annoyance in minecraft, modded or no.[DOUBLEPOST=1401598135][/DOUBLEPOST]
Making an automated flower farm is so easy. It's even possible in vanilla minecraft.
Yeah but is specially bad for chickens as their entire entity can fit "inside" the gap between the fence and the air block next to it and get stuck there forever. Other animals are too large for this and do therefore not get stuck as much.
I don't care about glitching through fences. I really don't. Tat's easily remedied with a golden lasso (I can't play without extra utils anymore.
) Chickens, however, will stay in a fence. You give two chickens stuck on opposite sides of the fence some sees, they will try to run to each other to do the hokey pokey but they can't move to do so. Unsticking them lasts all of two seconds.when you get amazing fps in 1.6 but total crap fps in 1.7
Really annoying, and when I build the fence so that the inside is 5x5 and stick an MFR breeder at the side, it won't work when the chicken are in the corners.I don't care about glitching through fences.

My solution: Put paving stone of warding underneath the fences. You could even omit the fence but I kept it for visuals.
I just dig a pit. A literal hole in the ground. Can't glitch through that.
i did that with my horses that apperantly had the power to escape my fences and they both somehow died in a 5x5x3 hole, stupid horses...
Serves them right. Glitchy little shits.
When I have a GUI open, tinkering with some machine or other and an enderman walks between me and what i'm looking at, automatically aggroing itself through no fault of mine.
Bloody thing.
