# Forbidden Mods
> **TLDR**: Hacked clients & exploits are being created all the time; it's impossible to create a comprehensive list, but if a mod does anything that the vanilla game cannot do, and that new ability can give you a gameplay advantage, it is probably not allowed here **unless stated otherwise**. When in doubt, ask staff **before** you use it.
To keep gameplay fair, maintain the servers economy and overall stability, we don't allow access to certain mods. If a modification…
* automates **complex actions** you'd **otherwise need to be engaged for** (eg caving/mining: baritone)\ *This does not include actions such as autoclicking at a mob farm or automatically planting trees - these could be automated by leaving an object on top of your mouse (for example) therefore don't require your engagement.*
* shows information the **vanilla client cannot see without significant modification** (eg XRay, ESP, etc)
* alters hit-detection, entity interaction, physics or network traffic (packet spoofing, bad packets, etc)
…then it is likely classified as a **forbidden mod** on this SMP.
### Examples
* Hacked clients should not be used at all - even without any hacks toggled on them. EG: Meteor, Impact, Wurst
* Mods that provide an XRay function in some form - such as texture packs, ESP, Baritone. Includes No-Fog mods/packs when used to remove lava fog for easy Netherite Mining. This can also include mini-maps when they have a cave-viewer (must be turned off to be acceptable - surface mode only with mobs turned off).
* Freecam/Replay-Mod/Flashback/World Downloader are only permitted for content creation, building use or farm use (eg checking mob spawns in a farm). They cannot and must not be used to find structures such as caves, trial chambers, ancient cities, etc. \ *This is very often banned altogether on servers - do not ruin a good thing for other people!*
* Mods that exploit any vanilla/plugin bug not explicitly allowed - EG to duplicate items aside from explicitly allowed dupers.
* Mods that attempt to obtain the seed of a world, or abuse the worlds seed in any form - such as XRay hacks.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://guide.chillzone.cc/readme/forbidden-mods.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
