Hm... Does it legals?
Well young friend, no.
It is as bad as downloading mp3s for free and using wikipedia (everyone knows its editted!) which is pretty bad :/
If you've bought the game, you may play around with it and modify it. We'd appreciate it if you didn't use this for griefing, though, and remember not to distribute the changes.
Any tools you write for the game from scratch belongs to you. You're free to do whatever you want with screenshots and videos of the game, but don't just rip art resources and pass them around, that's no fun. Plugins for the game also belong to you and you can do whatever you want with them, including selling them for money. We reserve the final say regarding what constitutes a tool/plugin and what doesn't.
INVedit is a tool for Minecraft, not a cheat or exploit. However, it's not doing it the old-fashioned way. /thread
INVedit is perfectly legal, technically it counts as a mod because it is exploiting the game in a way that helps the player. For the person who said that it is illegal,you are wrong if in edit is illegal then so is mo creatures and mcedit. If it's illegal why would they dedicate an entire forum to modding?
I'm a lawyer and have one piece of advice for you. Don't ask for legal advice from people on internet message boards.
If you are interested in doing further research on this question I recommend reading the Minecraft Terms of Use which are available here: http://www.minecraft.net/copyright.jsp
The following sentence is not legal advice. I have read the Minecraft terms of use and in my opinion use of Invedit does not violate such terms.
Don't do it! He's a lawyer! He will charge you 50000 gajillion for consultation!!!11! Here keep these to ward him off!
It is 100% legal. You can do what ever you want. Post videos of your house it doesn't matter. You may want to tell your viewers that the house isn't legitly made, but no one will care.
Nope, it's illegal to use INVedit. Several gamers have been arrested for using that program, some of them 8 years old, some of them 30+. No matter if you're a little girl or a grandma, they will treat you like the criminal scum you are.
Thanks, i will not use it if it's illegal ^.^ (I Like Minecraft... i don't want to be banned... :smile.gif:)
LOL
On topic: INVedit is a third party software (basically is a mod just not really actually "modding" the game.) It just allows you to alter your inventory but it doesn't violate any laws whatsoever. I personally only use it in the event of a crash and my inventory gets altered in a negative way or for "testing" worlds where I test mechanisms, cannons, etc without having to get the materials for said things. If you want to use it, go ahead, while some might consider it cheating, you are not breaking the law
Some people said : It's Illegal
Some people said : It's Legal...
I don't know ... >_<
Think of it this way: If you buy a car from Honda, is it illegal to change it? Is it illegal to put blacklight running boards on and a tail fin and giant exhaust pipes? NO! It's your car! You can do whatever the hell you want with it.
Its definitely legal. Why would it be illegal? You bought the game, you can play it how you want. As long as you don't redistribute the game you won't get your ass kicked.

I don't feel like putting anything witty here, sorry.
It's not illegal. It's not even a TOS violation. Even if it was, do you think Notch would give a ****? Dude doesn't even care about people pirating his game.
I don't think you can be "banned" from Minecraft. It's not a MMO, you're not accessing a server to play.
Ok...think of it this way. InvEdit/Toomanyitems are essentially just an easier to use /give command on minecraft servers.
It is totally 100% LEGAL!
Invedit is basically a third party /give command used in single player worlds.
Toomanyitems is a coding that is installed into the game to give you the items with the click of your mouse. It works in solo and in multiplayer.
Although you cannot be banned for using it, if you use it in a multiplayer server(Toomanyitems that is) the console will be notified. (Giving DrOctoganapus8 64 46.) If you are not an admin, or you do not have the ability to give yourself items it will say this. (DrOctoganapus8 tried command Give 64 46.) This could get you banned, but only from that server.
I recommend getting it, I use it for my adventure level I am building, and I have never been banned. If you do get it don't ever give yourself 64 of #46..for that is tnt. And you will be accused of attempting to grief.
And for all you trolls in this thread. Cut him some slack...seriously...he was just asking a simple question.

If Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter were all destroyed, 90% of teens would go insane. If you're one of the 10% that would be laughing at them, copy this into your signature and hope it happens.

OT: It's legal, why would it be illegal...?
it's legal, but you shouldn't use it. it takes away all the fun!
you are going to regret that you used it if you do.

Indeed it does.
STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!

Its ILLEGAL to distribute
Its LEGAL to modify the game in YOUR sense even taking money for the mods if you liked, too
BUT they can change this policy if they liked to without your notice

If it was illegal,Notch would've unleashed hell on a quarter of the minecraft community.
I personally don't like Invedit,it makes the game boring.
