NEI, hacks or not?

[Kassu233]

So some players have been using NEI but i think its debatable is it a "hack" or not, since:
-all it really does in a server is show crafting recipes and item id's
-it cant have an unfair advantage over other players by for ex. setting the time to day because it inserts the commands thru the chat like /time day
-it cant spawn in items as entities because it uses /give instead, no hacks there because it wont work (like the above statement)

seeing crafting recipes isnt really an "unfair advantage over other players" as you can just go to the MC wiki and see there

thoughts? some points i missed? some false info (does it actually give unfair advantages?)

I don't see any reason it would be banned.


I would say its ok to use, as far as I know.
