I've gotten mixed answers as to the legality of this, so I decided to put up a poll and see what everyone thought.
If you haven't tried it yet, you should note that when you press F3 to show coordinates, performance, FPS, etc., the game will show numbered tags over all of the mobs. In general, I use this 'scanner' function to find squid hiding in deep water, but in the past I've also used it to find caves near the surface by seeing the skeleton and zombie tags inside.
I was wondering what you all thought about the use of this feature. Would you consider it hacking or cheating or do you think it doesn't matter? I've gotten some spread out answers because it is built in to the game, and it certainly isn't as directly effective as x-ray mods or other hacks, but it is a cheap way to find caves. If any admins or mods could give their input, that would be helpful too.
