I don't know if this is the right place to ask for these kind of things but here we go.

I have been cheating in public Minecraft servers (you can judge me), and every time I get IP banned (about once an hour), I restart my modem so it changes my PC's IP (I think it's called dynamic IP, correct me if I'm wrong).

So, the thing I'm worried about is: Is there a chance for me to run out of IPs I get banned in all of them? Is the amount of IPs that I can change limited? If it is technically I can get banned in all of them, right?

It is selfish. Cheating by definition is selfish, but you are essentially eliminating other players on the same ISP network from accessing this particular Minecraft server.

So basically you're fucking over people twice, once by cheating and secondly by denying access to Minecraft.

YTA sir.

Yeah, it's selfish AF, I agree, but I have changed it only 2 times so far, and I have a VPN already, it's Mysterium Dark because it's decentralized, I'm looking for a better one, do you know some to recommend?

So I'm not ruining nobody's experience (except who is playing the same match as me) as far as I know

So you are ruining the experience for a lot of people. I’m impressed as your ability to justify this as okay. It’s selfish and rude to people who want to enjoy their hobby of gaming.
