Mods section

[BrianGrug]

I think there should be a Minecraft mods section because I think it could help draw in another type of community as the need for mods increases

By mods you mean stuff like modded clients?

I should probably inform you that I haven't seen grey or blackhat activities on MCM and I don't believe they will be. Modding Minecraft is often referenced to as Mod Clients, sadly that's actually quite illegal, so is the use of this.

I might be wrong or you might mean something else, I'm a bit old fashioned in regards to Minecraft.

Goodluck on your suggestion

No hes talking about modded minecraft such as a "Dinosaur Mod" or a "Spongebob Mod". Also i've seen a good amount of "blackhat" activies such as PUBG and CS:GO hacks going up for sale.

Damn, for reals? That's thrifty.

Well I guess I see those mods as a kind of 'gamemode' and for me, not a minecraft developer but a C and Java dev, a gamemode is essentially just a plugin, an extension. I don't believe this should be the case.

Would rather have some kind of 'Free' sections for sharing stuff like Free Plugins, Free Services etc. etc.

I guess if there should be a mods section I'm not sure what it should be called. I really need more information to be able to make a vote.

These are being sold in Other Products atm

Yeah, but I think there should be a stand-alone section for it because Other products is for in my option like vouchers and stuff

Creating and selling mods is in no way illegal. Mojang even went out of their way in their TOS to allow it:

EXTENDED FUNCTIONALITY AND “MODS”
If you comply with and follow the Essential Requirements (in the Brand and Asset Usage Guidelines) and Naming Guidelines above YOU MAY distribute or make available plug-ins and other bits and pieces of extended functionality etc. that you create (together, "Mods") for free and without any charge, but not if the purpose of your Mod is to advertise or promote other products or services (see the section below on Building Promotions with Minecraft). By "Mods," we mean something original that you created that doesn't contain a substantial part of our copyrightable code or content. We have the final say on what constitutes a Mod and what doesn't. When you combine your Mod with the Minecraft software, we will call that combination a "Modded Version" of the Game. You MAY NOT distribute any Modded Versions of our Game or software, though you may distribute Mods. You may make money from Mods as described below in the section, "Servers and Hosting."

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS
The first thing to say is that there are Essential Requirements that apply to all use of our Names, Brands, and Assets. If you are using any part of any Name, any of our Brands and /or any of our Assets, then what you are doing MUST:

• NOT make people think that you or what you are doing is official; approved or endorsed by us; or associated or connected with us;
• NOT be unlawful, deceptive, obscene, harmful or disparaging;
• NOT take action that would harm or damage any of our Brands or any of our Assets;
• NOT include anything else around it that makes people think that you or what you are doing is official; approved or endorsed by us; or associated or connected with us;
• comply with the relevant Account Terms/EULA; and
• sufficiently differentiate the use of any Name you are using from any other branding.

These are the "Essential Requirements".

I'm completely on board with the creation of a modding node.
Blackhat activity, however, as always, is not permitted on this site.

Well reading the snippet you gave me, I am unsure what of Mojang's client is not their 'code' xD
But I guess if it's 'legal' I don't see a reason why it shouldn't have a spot here on MCM.

It's a lot of fun to be developing competitive clients.

- As for these 'spongebob mods' etc. They definetely could have their own section if they don't belong anywhere else, that would also be delightful.

It would be really cool to see this added and hopefully would help the community as well. You might also get some competition with other devs and that could mean better mods!

If we introduce a forum for mods called 'Client Modifications' should we allow hacked clients in it?

Yes obviously, Mick.

 

[Mick]

Nobody is really going to post anything in here. I can't imagine what new mods are going to be introduced that people will actually use. Mods are dying out with the newer versions of minecraft as well.

I feel like if it is introduced the forum is going to be 90% hacked clients.

Yeah it's a very slippery slope to add hacked clients in. On one hand yes it's essentially just a mod pack that gives players an unfair advantage on servers which in no way affects Mc-Market. On the other hand hacked client sellers are extremely shady and I feel like it would draw so many potential new scammers to the market.

Hacked clients are flooding other services and products.

Why don’t you make a section called Modding and make sub-forums for hacked clients and resource packs?

Minecraft mods, GTA, ect would go in main. Also regular modding discussion. This also goes for cars and otherwise normal “modding” not just tech.

Wouldn’t call it client modifications, that lends to hacked clients, not the mods he is referring to.[DOUBLEPOST=1561751826][/DOUBLEPOST]

How are they shady? Most are straight up and super blunt. But shady, no.[DOUBLEPOST=1561751899][/DOUBLEPOST]

Tell that to the Apex legend cheat thread you have pinned on your forum under other products.

Also sorry for all the double posts but I know it will merge.

Due to a lack of demand and selling mods as products being against Mojang's EULA, we will not be adding this forum in the future.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
