I totally agree with you! I have used Labymod with health indicator in the past and it made it so much easier for me to plan out my fights, and especially to clean. From a safe distance, I could watch two people fight and when they were both down to a few hearts, I knew it was my time to shine (aka: time to get both kills). If I didn't use health indicators, I would have to wait until one of them died, but then I still wouldn't know how low the other person was and I had to take a risk - if I have health indicators, this risk is not there.
This also definitely applies to the 'get the most kills' boss game in MinerWare. I quite literally always win if I use health indicators, just because I clean everyone. Without health indicators, this becomes a lot more difficult.
It is not cheating, in the rules it says it is allowed, and also just download it yourself if you want to see health.
The moderation team may not consider it to be cheating, but this person does. And so do I. Just because I can't beat them, doesn't mean I should join them
It's an advantage, but since everyone can install it fairly easily I don't that much of a problem. If you can run vanilla Minecraft you can run forge + damage indicator.So I'd say it ok.
They can just download it. It's free! I don't see the point here xD
The point is that just because I can't beat them, doesn't mean I should join them
But labymod users have the disadvantage that they can’t report players on the site.
That has nothing to do with the huge advantage they have in PvP combat
