Mods Message: "Texture pack used is advantageous (Transparent Water)"
Appeal: I have had multiple runs using this same exact texture pack. All were verified by different mods. If this is considered an advantageous texture pack I will gladly stop using it, but it's unfair that I never got a warning or was told to not use it after 3 verified runs of me using this same texture pack. Again if this texture pack is considered advantageous I will stop using it, but a warning or something within the first 3 verified runs should've been communicated.
i support your side on this one, if there was any issue with it, the mods should be talking to you, not keeping it quiet
@Visual_Replayz clear water is and always has been against the rules. ( https://www.mcbe.wtf/rules ) Your other runs being verified is likely the result of mods either not being aware you were using the texture pack, or it clearly having no effect on your run(s).
I appreciate the response. How would they not be aware when I have to manually select the texture pack in every run that I do? The water had no effect on this run either. Literally the only times there was ever water on my screen is during the start where there's a small river, the farms at the village, and when I'm making my portal.
@Visual_Replayz just don't use a texture pack, it's really not that hard.
That's understandable, but with 3 prior runs it becomes less and less of an excuse you know? Thank you for taking your time, appreciate it!
@smitch I've already started not using it after this happened. I've been using this texture pack since my first ever run a few months back and now it's a problem.
Hey @Visual_Replayz, We must not have realised in previous submissions the different transparency of the water. We do our best to keep all runs as vanilla as possible, allowing texture packs but disallowing anything that could be advantageous in a run. (Clear water can be advantageous through increased vision for submerged structures) In your instance, there was no advantage in the clearer water during the runs and your run will be re-verified, but we advise against using it for future runs. Sorry for the confusion!
@Cr4ZyPlays Can you send a link to your run? Are you sure you properly read the rules in regards to when timing starts? Runners will often look around at the start of their run without realising that it starts the timer.
I think visuals run should be verified because the water In no way affected his gameplay to get a better time if he was doing something like hyper modern that would of been different but he still shouldn't use a clear water pack and he should avoid that in the future
Hello Runners.
We have a new rule for all platforms, for random seed runs.
After completing a Top Run (Top 5 Main Category/1st ILs), you must exit the world and go to the main menu.
For top Windows runners, you still have to do PowerShell verification.
For Ps4/Ps5, this rule
