Moderator Notice:
I checked with the forum rules and no where does it say SMP hacks are not allowed. Now if you say that moderators are the rule, then the least they should do is put the new rule in the sticky and give me fair warning. Did not have to lock the topic and could've pmed me the reason the FIRST time the thread was locked.
Some argue that fly mod helps server admins. I make this same argument: admins can now watch people tunnel and see how many ores people have mined, where chests are hiding, etc. I may also add, if people are really worried, then like fly mod, someone can always make a mod to detect this one. Now that minecraft logs statistics, it is easy to find how much ores people have mined on the server and then admin use this mod to observe them mining. It is not just a "cheat". What if server admins don't care if they X-Ray as well? Then how do you justify banishing this mod?
For a long time dfransway's mod was allowed and now it supposedly isn't, Update the rules with specific details on what is and isn't allowed, remove all "hacks" from the forum like flying, and you may remove the link. I won't be satifisfied unless more than one administrator agrees with this too.
I also see nothing in CJB's x-ray that allows servers to disable his mod. Don't see instruction for how exactly they are to do this either. Does this mean you should lock his thread too?

Locked again for being an SMP cheat, as soon as you can get a version that *only works in SSP* and *is highly obfuscated* so that others cannot easily make it work on smp, you may PM me with said xray, I will check it, and if it meets these requirements I will unlock this thread.
lahwran, talk about double standards. If that's the case, then please lock zombe's modpack for offering a mod that allows you to fly on SMP, and CJB's Mod Pack for have an X-Ray mod that works on SMP. Both of those mods work on SMP. So why don't they HAVE TO upload a version that ONLY works on SSP, and that is HIGHLY OBFUSCATED too?????
lahwran, here's a more reasonable request/solution: Let NewbyModder continue developing this mod as he sees fit, but ask him to develop a way for servers to disable this mod IF THEY SO CHOOSE. I see NO WHERE on this forum a list of rules prohibiting this type of mod.
I'm tired of people devoting their time and efforts to the minecraft community, only to have a moderator simply click a button and lock/delete the thread.

NewbyModder's X-RAY mod is completely legit! I've been using it just fine for the past few days. He's been regularly updating it, replying to peoples posts, adding new features that others have requested etc.
I even decomplied the code myself, and found NOTHING malicious in it.
Moderators, please stop locking/deleting NewbyModder's threads! This is totally ridiculous.
Note to NewbyModder: try not to let the moderators being jerks get you down, please keep up the good work!

I've been a on this site for a while now and figured to finally make an account and comment about this.. There are now ways to prevent people from using it for bad reasons in SMP, if the servers pay attention to their logs (Sure there are exceptions) but it can for the most part be tracked.
So I will ask the mods to stop locking the threads of his..He reads comments, updates it, and cares for it.
I know people who used xray mods(Not so much this one but previous versions) for good reasons to make a server tons better and not for their own personal gain..
I do enjoy it for the fact it has a cave finder, I don't really plan to use the xray (Unless I'm playing on my personal world then I will , Can you blame me?)
my game keeps crashing with this mod. ill try fresh install and see what happends. maybe my other mods are messsin with it.
edit: started new fresh copy and its still crashing. Whole game freezes then about 5 to 10 seconds later game auto closes. Why is this mod crashing? :sad.gif:
I run a small (20 person) server. As an admin, this mod is very useful. I managed to find a couple chests of hacked bedrock/tnt that could have seriously messed up my server with this mod. Yes there are drawbacks, but those drawbacks can be combated with this mod itself.

Gee, maybe because they told you to UPLOAD A VERSION WITHOUT SMP?!
Sigh...
