Client Mods are modifications to Minecraft Alpha. They are not custom clients, and require modification of minecraft.jar. Like high resolution textures, they only work with the launchers, and won't work if you play Alpha through a browser.
The most common form of client mods are aesthetic, functional, or fixes. However, some client mods add content to the game. While some do work on SMP, mods that add content, and thus could be used for griefing, do not work, as the server will ignore custom content.
This list only contains entries that cannot contribute to griefing or cheating in multiplayer.
