Using Online Tools are Cheating in Minecraft

Posted 2 hours ago2 hr

I’ve been experimenting with building different shapes in Minecraft lately - circles, domes, curves, and other structures that are normally pretty tough to get right using only block placement by hand. To help with this, I started using a few online tools like circle generators and shape planners, and they’ve made the process much smoother and more accurate. It does make me wonder though - are these kinds of tools considered cheating, or just helpful building references? I still gather all the materials myself and place every block manually, so to me it feels more like a building aid than something unfair, but I’d love to hear what others think.

Evolution reset modpack grout issue

Which version does you play on? In 1.2.4 beta version, the recipe of grout has been changed. If you play on old version, you can try drop flint clay and clay first then pour the lime.

Orbital strike cannon fishing rod mod

Just checked, the Normal Mod got updated 3 days ago. That one works perfectly fine in 1.21.10 tho. The fishing rod mod, was updated 4 weeks ago and if u try using those rods in 1.21.10 the game just crashes sadly
