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?

Why not just host your own Minecraft server and cheat to your hearts content? I always cheat in single player games since I don’t have the time to grind so if a game has a grind element I just skip it by cheating however in a single player game you are cheating yourself - no victim as even achievements are disabled.

Sans that, my advice is to use a VPN so you don’t screw your neighbours who might get a banned IP and not be able to play the game for no fault of their own.

I have already got a VPN, people have already warned me of banning people that don't have anything to do with it, appreciate it, I hadn't thought of that possibility

Cheating in Single Player isn't really an option because I'm using it in Bedwars, not a closed SMP server, and I like to grind on those, but not a fan of learning how to properly do a "Godbridge"
