    Suggestion:
    If you didn't know many texture packs have insanely large invisible potion particles making it extremely easy to find and kill invisible players in SG.

    Reason
    :
    Using texture packs with insanely large particles gets a large unfair advantage over other players. I don't know about you but if you paid at least $15 usd for a kit and someone can come along and take you out as if you were visible I would be pretty frustrated.

    Other Information:
    This first came to my attention when itzxtremegaming continuously killed invisible players with ease as if they were visible, he later revealed that he used a modified texture pack with insanely large and obvious particules that makes invisible players "Stick out like a sore thumb"

    Apart from screenshots, how would we enforce this?

    Where do we draw the line of what is/isn't obvious?

    An excellent point @Nicit6 but you could say the say to X-ray texture packs, how do you know when someone is using an X-ray texture pack in the wild where no one can see?

    There's still a fine line with those being obvious when submitted in screenshots. However "insanely large particles" is extremely vague. Where does aesthetic turn to obvious?

    -1 with this logic we should ban people with big monitors because they can see things up close....

    I didn't say my particles are easy, i have very good vision, they're normal size but just black so it's easier to spot than the greyish, just change yours too.

    This is abused so often now and I am getting quite tired of it to be honest.

    Maybe we just ban all but vanilla texture packs, there's literally no way to enforce this. Novel idea at best.

    +1 for concept but impossible to implement
