INTRODUCTION

The MCOrigins Network aims to provide a fair and competitive environment for all players. While we encourage personalizing your gameplay experience, players must adhere to the following guidelines regarding third-party modifications.

Players use any modifications at their own risk.

The examples listed on this page are not a complete and exhaustive list of modifications that are allowed and prohibited.

The use of any modification that violates Section 2: Unfair Advantage, as determined by the staff team, will result in punishment as per the most up-to-date rules document.

SECTION 1: Performance Improvement Modifications

Modifications that aim to improve Minecraft’s performance, efficiency, and stability, without altering the game itself, are generally allowed on MCOrigins.

Examples:

Sodium

Lithium

Starlight

SECTION 2: Aesthetic & Cosmetic Modifications

Modifications that change the look, feel, and style of Minecraft are generally allowed on MCOrigins. This excludes any modification that provides an unfair advantage, in addition to resource packs that mimic the “X-Ray” modification.

Examples:

Optifine

Shader mods

Resource packs (X-Ray is prohibited)

Better Grass & Leaves

SECTION 3: Heads-up-display (HUD) Modifications

Modifications that provide players with information that is already available in the vanilla experience and do not provide an unfair advantage are generally allowed on MCOrigins.

Examples:

Minimaps (only if entity/player tracking and cave radars are disabled)

ArmorStatusHUD (displays armor durability)

StatusEffectHUD (active potion effects)

In-Game Info XML / similar overlays (basic stats, health, ping)

Coordinate Display (XYZ/FPS/biome info)

Custom cross-hair mods

Keystrokes Mod

The following HUD modifications are strictly prohibited:

Mods that add information that does not have a legitimate indicator in vanilla Minecraft, such as those that show other players’ health.

SECTION 4: Input & Editing Modifications

Modifications that provide toggles for sprinting and sneaking are generally allowed on MCOrigins.

Examples:

BetterSprint Mod

ToggleSprint

ToggleSneak (must not allow sneak-sprint or other mechanics not present in vanilla)

Axiom (Donator perk for Creative server). The following Modifications are strictly prohibited:

Any modification or external tool that automates inputs or actions (e.g., auto-clickers, auto-fishers, auto-miners, or macros).

Schematica/Litematica or any other build preview, printer, or auto-build modification is NOT allowed on the Guilds’ server. Build tools such as Litematica are generally allowed on Creative, granted they do not result in undue stress on server resources.

Mods or tools that bypass AFK detection, automate farming, or auto-reconnect while AFK.

SECTION 5: Replay, Recording & Streaming Modifications

Modifications that allow you to record, replay, or broadcast your gameplay without affecting how the game runs are generally allowed on MCOrigins.

Examples:

ReplayMod (allowed for cinematic purposes, but using it for unfair scouting of bases, traps, or players is not)

OBS or other recording overlays

Simple full-screen recording tools

SECTION 6: Chat & Communication Modifications

Modifications that enhance chat readability and player communication without adding automation are generally allowed on MCOrigins.

Examples:

Chat Timestamps

Mention/Highlight Mods

Chat Filters (client-side only)

Chat macros/auto-messaging mods are strictly prohibited.

SECTION 7: Modification Clients

Clients that combine approved modifications into a single launcher are generally allowed on MCOrigins, granted they do not contain any unfair advantages.

Examples:

Lunar Client

Badlion Client

Feather Client

LabyMod

5zig

Using custom clients that bundle in cheats or give unfair advantages is strictly prohibited.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

If a modification is not listed here but provides an unfair advantage, automates gameplay, or reveals hidden information, it will still be treated as prohibited under our rules. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact the Staff or Administration.
