"Cheat Clients", "Hacked Clients" or "Utility Mods" for Minecraft Java Edition are modified versions of the game that give players a competitive advantage whether it is in player versus player combat, finding materials/bases, automating actions or much more that are impossible to do without using a client. Modified clients come in different forms: they can be injected into the game process, be .jar files that can be added to the vanilla launcher, be mods that can be used with a mod launcher or be their own custom standalone launchers. Most servers will have "Anti-Cheats" which will detect irregular/impossible actions from users and may result in users being banned. However, there are "Anarchy Servers" such as 2B2T where cheats are completely permissible.
