Why is X-raying bad?
X-raying uses a graphical exploit to allow a player to see ores and other materials through layers and layers of stone and dirt. An x-raying player can immediately spot and collect valuable ore without any challenge. On a single player world, using this exploit accelerates the progress towards the single player end game, but on a multiplayer server puts you unfairly ahead of other players, who are not using the same exploit and therefore are progressing through the game normally while the exploiting player is progressing unfairly faster than them. It's essentially like cheating on a test with an answer sheet and acing it when everyone else studied hard for weeks to get the same grade.
How does X-raying affect other players?
Using this exploit takes diamonds away from other players. An x-raying player will most likely mine primarily for diamonds, and any player mining in the same area would most likely be denied of a chance to mine diamond because an x-raying player has already stripped it all from the game world. Secondly, the cheating player has an unfair advantage in combat because of his diamond weapons and armor.
How does X-raying affect the server’s economy?
A cheating player can sell what he mines for a large profit. And following on my last point, a non-cheating player may have the opportunity of collecting diamond and other materials for sale denied to him by a cheating player who has already collected it all from the game world.
If you really need an item what is a better way of getting it than using X-Ray?
Saving the money to purchase the item at a shop, or seeing if another player is generous enough to let you borrow or keep the item you are looking for.
What have you learned from this ban?
Using an x-ray exploit is a serious offense that is not taken lightly by the mods, that gives an unfair advantage to the cheating player while hurting the server's economy and player population. There is no Good or Bad when it comes to cheating. It is still unfair and will land you a ban no matter if you are being selfish of generous. If I want to cheat, I can go into a single player game, but if I log into HomeTownMC then I have to play the game legit.
