I would like to know if Rei's MiniMap mod is allowed on the server.
Previously this mod was not allowed as it gave an advantage to players in the form of showing caves and entities. Both of these options have now been removed by default so that the basic mod is nothing more than a map.

Obviously this can be modified, but that would go down to player trust similar to that of the use of optifine and removing void fog/clear water etc.
But to be fair, anyone can stand infront of a map in a picture frame in-game now and other players will be displayed on it. Also players can now be tracked using the webmap.

TLDR: Rei's MiniMap is nothing more than an ingame webmap now. Can it be added to the list of allowed mods on MineRealm?

If it still allows waypoints* to be set I would have to say the answer would be "no". If any other staff wants to chime in and correct me please do so.

*It has been a very long time since I've used Rei's Minimap(Well over a year or more) so I haven't kept up with it. Only reason I bring this up is that it is a feature still (as far as I know). Again this would be left to player trust, but yeah...

I think the rule used to be that it was fine, waypoints and all, as long as it could not be used to:

A: Find caves and ores
B: Show Players
C: Show Mobs.

Waypoints are really just a more convenient way of keeping tabs on your locations, over a notepad doc with a bunch of coordinates. Don't go by my words though, my memory hasn't always proved reliable in the past when it comes to rules.

If I were to choose between X-ray and reis, I'd pick reis. I loved being able to pinpoint exact locations all over the map as well as have a detailed minimap on my screen at all times. The mod saved me so much time and allowed me to see and have way more features than the normal player. I would love to have this mod allowed!

I would love to see rei's minimap as well, only if it isn't super easy to abuse. I understand that it could be abused I just don't want it to be as easy as a few keystrokes and clicks to abuse.

These are called advantages.

Honestly, other than waypoints this is no different than having a 2nd screen open with the map up to navigate. And to be fair, what advantages does having waypoints hold? Its pretty easy to save a map image and modify it with paint etc to add waypoints yourself.

Heh, maybe Mojang will add waypoints to in-game maps next :p

The files to show caves and entities have been physically removed from the mod.
You can source them yourself, but the same can be said of hacked clients.

Correct those features are disabled in multiplayer. Certain server information is required, whilst the mod has that information in single player, the mod is designed to have those features disabled for multiplayer to ensure that rei's mini map does not provide player's with an unfair advantage.

The waypoint function is no different to what I used to do when recording X'y'z co-ordinates on a piece of paper of in notepad on the computer.

Having an overhead map is sometimes the only way to really appreciate some of the builds which are designed to be seen from above.

Should be allowed. Any advantages it gives is just like players using Optifine vs players not using it.
