There's no cheating on a Single player game where there isn't even highscores. It's up to you to decide if it unbalances the game. Of course a legit world is one you don't use any mods, editors or abuses glitches.
i wouldn't say its cheating.
its just making your game play more convenient really.
i mean, either place A flag on the ground to mark the spot, or you can hog up few buckets of lava and make a huge lava pool,
so the map will show a tiny red dot.
I actually haven't felt the need to use them, I think for me, it would destroy a bit of the fun of exploring, and trying to find tall "parkour" style mountains to climb and see the view. I can see why people would use them though, as sometimes I am stuck in the middle of a dense tall tree forest (I must admit I don't like those forests, its annoying trying to get every last log of wood from a tree there) and I can't figure out which way to go.
I wouldn't technically consider it "cheating" as Minecraft is a game you play on your own terms. I usually conjure up a diamond toolkit. I pretend I'm working for someone else, and of course, your boss always provide you with the tools to do the job properly :wink.gif: But on my current world (in single player) I am doing everything legit, all I have is an Iron pick right now, everything else is cobblestone (since I have an overabundance of it LOL). I also have full iron armour rofl (I was going to make a full iron toolset, but backtracked when I found a massive cavern filled to the brim with every mob possible LOL).
So it really depends on your style of gaming and what your trying to get out of the game :smile.gif:
I play SSP and Rei's minimap is the only mod I use. I think that using mods to do things that you could otherwise do long-hand is cheating, but as someone else said Rei's Minimap is really just F3 on the HUD, so I allow it. Of course though, other people think otherwise.
If you feel it cheapens the game for you, then it's cheating - but that's for you to decide.
but yes i think it is. some people have other opinions. anyway, i just came here from a mod reviev

"Is the use of Rei's Minimap cheating?
I don't feel it is cheating if you use it in single player. It just helps you expect what you should see and find you way back home.

There is no cheating if you're in singleplayer.
The server rules decide what is considered what on their server.
Always willing to help. Message me.
Would go insane on some of these worlds trying to find something as simple as snow. :blink.gif:
