You just answered your own question.

 

The problem I can think of is copyright.
Andrewkm owns the server so therefore the map, I believe. So it really up to him.

 

You can't really "copyright" a map. I don't think it is allowed though.

 

It would not be allowed specifically for the x-ray ability type of reasons already stated. Our rules clearly forbid anyone from using any type of mod that will give you an unfair advantage which this certainly would for ore hunting. If your caught digging holes straight to diamond or you're flagged for mining an extraordinary number of diamonds in a short time span you will of course be banned.

The second problem falls somewhat under copyright because it would certainly cause some problems if you downloaded the map and then tried to open up a cloned MP server and tried to attract users and donations.

I have heard the mod is buggy and most likely causes issues with the jar. A lot of these mods these days are junk.

As rag said there is no way to regulate mods, however if you are caught using it to find ores then you will be banned for xray anyway. Not sure what if any, advantages the mod would have other then that.

 

World Downloader is allowed, because using it to find ores will follow the same patterns as Xrayers and those people WILL be banned quickly.

 

Alot. If we had thought of doing this on our first server map we wouldn't of lost the entire beginning history of ECC outside of a few screenshots.

 

I used it only to blow up the spawn and torture your cactus, :)

 

It would be who ever owns the server cause take an example.
You write a letter on Microsoft word, Microsoft own word but you own the letter you wrote cause you wrote it.

lol :D

 

i think you can somewhat copyright a map since when you downloada vechs map it comes with a copyright note

Users are free (and encouraged) to create videos of the MAPS and share the videos online, using websites such as YouTube. Users are also free to include advertisements and monetize their videos of my maps. Watching people play my maps is by far the best way for me to learn how to make better maps. If you have made video's or LP's (Let's Play series) of my maps, then thank you very much!
