You wouldn't think so, but I wouldn't be so sure. A lot of mod authors, especially ones that were relatively unknown before FTB, have adopted a syndrome where they seem to think that the only possible way to use their mod is in an FTB pack. How many mods that are not in FTB packs has Greg...

This is the post where Slowpoke gathered permissions for the official packs.

Was MFR even in any packs when that option was added?

Of course you can't redistribute it. That would be using the recipe and the name and logo, which I acknowledged are still owned by the creator. I am, however, free to tweak and edit my own copy of windows however I want. And other people can even release tools that do the tweaking for me! For...

If you buy a box of Lucky Charms cereal, does that box of cereal belong to General Mills? No, it belongs to you. The name and logo and recipe belong to General Mills, but the box and its contents belong to you. You can do whatever you want with them. You can add milk, sugar, cinnamon, chocolate...

Yeah I've read it.

How about just "GregTech" for the full mod, and "GregTech Lite" for GregTech without recipe tweaks?

Well let's be honest here. For anything other than direct combat, the only real possible challenge in survival mode *is* tedium.

Water is wet, fire is hot, hardmode is hard.

I think imibis is just saying that it's not unintentional, that FlameBaiter is trolling and wants everyone to have to see it.

Fair enough, but the same holds true for every other mod addon or mod to a mod that I've seen except for ones where the author gave someone permission to take over the project. You chose to use a config created by someone else, which means you got every change they chose. But you're free to...

Again, that's not what's happening here. The gregtech mod doesn't touch the original work at all. They offer an optional filter that you can put over the work to get a different experience. It's like putting music through an equalizer. The original music is still the same, and I still get it...

But that's not what's happening here. Modder X is creating their own property which supersedes a portion of yours on an optional basis. Your original work is still your original work, it has not changed and can continue to be used without the addon. Do you honestly not perceive the difference...

You honestly think that releasing an optional addition that does exactly what it says it does is an attack? And somehow as bad or worse than secretly modifying the interaction to the point of breaking intended behavior? You have a really odd way of looking at things. Are you one of those guys...

This thread is now about the evil CovertJaguar modifying vanilla rail recipes. It hurts Notch's poor little feelings.

I'm curious, would you be more okay with it if Greg was officially made a member of the FTB team in charge of balance? And "gregtech" was instead called "ftb glue" or something like that?

I don't have a lot of love for GregTech, but I do think this whole "OMG don't mod closed source mods!" is absolutely ridiculous. Newsflash, guys. Minecraft is closed source. Pretty much every mod you use is dependent upon someone forcing their way through Mojang's protections. Yes, even...

You've got to be either a lawyer, a politician, or some sort of PR guy with lines like that XD

Yes, 1.5 had some performance issues. 1.5.1 fixes those and, depending on your system, may have even better performance than 1.4.7, but shouldn't have any worse.

Why does your signature beg for likes and followers? What do you gain out of it? You gonna put some advertisements in your posts?
