Are custom clients allowed?

[killette2]

I heard there were clients or things that allow you to have x-ray vission trough trees and other objects, are these allowed or can you get in trouble for using them?

My best guess is that they are not and it is considered cheating.

You can get in trouble by NOT using them, for example, being ambushed by boar/bear.

[TeckXKnight]

They are perfectly okay and the devs will not punish you ever for using them.

[cobaltjones]

They're encouraged.

wrong. maybe if you read the stickies you would have guessed correctly

[killette2]

I didn't see anything about them in any sticky, that is why I asked.

[Jackard]

and yet, there it is

What's this I hear about Enders client or whatever? There are a few custom clients floating about that offer modern conveniences like a larger window resolution and nightvision. These aren't considered cheating, but they do offer some advantages over players using the default client - the most significant being the xray toggle that allows you to see behind objects by replacing their artwork with white outlines.
