mini-map?

[WesleyCrusher]

Is there any thought of allowing mini-maps?

I was chased around the other day by a player I think had a mini-map because I was hiding a block away and he went straight for me. Those of us playing by the rules can be at a disadvantage.

Just a thought. I'm new around here so this might have been discussed already?

Nah. I think that would really do an injustice to gameplay. It has the potential of totally throwing of the balance. For instance, when you're a thief raiding a town, aren't there rules against invis potions? A minimap would totally ruin the art of thievery.

And besides, what about those of us who can't or aren't allowed to install mods? I, for one, don't like using minimaps because they make my already laggy computer even laggier. I know it sucks when other people use them when they shouldn't, but maybe this isn't such a good idea after all. Just a thought, anyway.

I totally agree with game play. I wish there was a way to easily reject players who don't follow the rules b/c in-game enforcement harder than auto-enforcement.

2. No Client Side Mods
2.1. The exception here is Optifine, which is just fine.
2.2. Mini-maps cannot be used.

If you ever suspect a player of not following the rules, just ask a Sentry, Guardian or Elder and we'll be happy to help
