Unfair Advantages mini maps have:
* Easier to find Villages
* Easier to find Sand and Jungle Temples
* Locating people in CTF and Domination
* Easier to find Mushroom Biomes
* Easier to find Nether Forts
* Many make it easier to find ores
* Doesn't cost 8 paper, 4 iron, and 1 redstone to use
Yet for some reason, people think it's ok to have maps even if they present these UNFAIR advantages. Oh wait! Having a mod that has unfair advantages is not allowed. So by this logic, mini maps should not be allowed.

Just for the record, Rei's Minimap (probably the most popular Minimap atm) only applies to these:
Easier to find things on the surface (Only within approx 75 blocks on each side (NESW) and on the surface)
Locating people in CTF and Domination (This feature (Entities Radar) is enabled/disabled server side)
Easier to find Nether Forts[/li][/list] (This doesn't work with Rei's Minimap, The top Nether layer blocks surfacemap)
Many make it easier to find ores (This also doesn't work, Cavemapping only shows where tunnels are at your level)
Doesn't cost 8 paper, 4 iron, and 1 redstone to use
I really don't see those things as a big deal though, I myself would actually rather have a reszone map available on the official server map, It's a resource zone meant for harvesting resources, a map would make it easier to find a biome you need for resources.

A 75 block view would allow someone to see a village/temple on the other side of a mountain. In a game of domination and ctf there is no way to get a map in game due to custom inventory so a minimap is unfair in those. Also, it doesn't cost 8 paper, 4 iron, and 1 redstone. Cave mapping could be used to find strongholds and mines, caves, and dungeons full of rarer resources (thanks for the info on another unfair advantage).
Rei's Minimap isn't the only minimap out there either. Other do work in the nether and show ore locations.
A dynamic reszone map would make it too easy for people to find villages/temples making it unfair for those who logged on some time after the server reset with the villages/temples already raided because of this.
Play real minecraft without mods and make your own maps. That's true survival, and we all know that Innectis is a survival based server so why stray away from that and allow a feature not intended for pure survival?

In theory we might be able to 'poof' the minimaps with false information.....
Food for thought...[/list]

Oh, isn't that lovely.

As for finding ore with minimap, that is as good as x-ray and wouldn't be permitted even if it was part of a mini-map, use common sense there :P

We should have 2 teams in a water world. There are 2 pirate ships with 7 TNT cannons and 10 chests of tnt. the firs team to destroy the other teams tnt wins.
