Why use this modpack?

• Adds features such as a better ui.
• Chests disappear after use and have a glow around them to stand out.
• Items have easy to understand stats when you hover over them.
• Lobby votes save so you don't have to manually re-enable artifacts.

Does this count as cheating?

Short answer, no. All the mods featured in the pack are client-side and designed to be played in multiplayer.
