X-Ray Mods and Texture Packs Aren't Allowed

Calling all programmers: your mods go here!

They can't show ores but they can show chests. However a couple of things.. public servers should be smart enough to incorporate either a container locking plug-in, server back-ups, logblock or all three. And technically everything that doesn't come with MC out-of-the-box is a hack because we have to modify the main file to get them to work.
Spamming mods is another good reason, though people seem to be doing that with the cape mod, and really whatever else is popular.

I am not voting for X-Ray or whatever you want to call it but the servers where stealing would actually damage the experience have safeguards against griefers. Those that don't are either a bunch of friends or they give free equipment anyways.

Your argument, sir, is invalid!
"You should be able to post the packs because servers should be better prepared to stop them".
I call shenanigans!

Now that Notch has given modding the "go ahead" I wouldn't say it's hacking to decompile the .jar, though if you do that's fair enough. Regardless; writing a mod to add a massive death machine that kills everyone periodically is still better than an x-ray pack, because it doesn't give any one player an unfair advantage and then ruin it for all the other players without said advantage.

Soul makes a good point mods are one thing but whats the point in the game if you're just going to cheat?

i agree with most of you.
Xray pack is as bad as the hack, and it is as bad as the Xray mod aswell. It's cheating!
it's also, from my point of view and my opinion, it's NOOBISH.
xray textures hacks, mods, whatever it is, it shouldn't exist!
it shouldn't even be on the minecraft forums in my opinion.
it makes you lose the joy of finding diamonds, and other ores.
THIS NEEDS TO BE ON STICKY!

You know, while I have my own X-Ray texture pack, I don't use it very often. Not only is it cheating (sort of...?), it kinda causes lag, I guess.

So, they can be pretty bad, but they're fun to mess with once in a while.

There is a reason, its valid and explained completely. Why whine, because you can't find it easy now and have to do more work to find a solution? X-ray is for people who can't play the game successfully in non-creative mode. xD

oh stop bickering constantly about it, and so i took the time to stop trying to understand the fabric of time, to tell you all that x-ray packs are a matter of opinion, as are most things,to some they are good and to others they are not. all and all. e.g mining addicts would mine a massive tunnel system and for others who aren't as keen to mine they use the x-rays, pack or mod
