Back a couple months ago, about 6 modders (quite the popular ones) left and the modding community didn't die. So far I have only seen 4 leave. I'm not worried modded minecraft is going to die
I think that's a bit of an overreaction tbh.
To quote George Michael - "Just gotta have faith"
But when you have the leader of a project just dismissing an entire administating team, I'm not gonna be surprised if that leads to people quitting.

Even if forge itself dies, modding will continue. Modpacking might die though.
We have stuff like CubicChunks/Tall worlds, M.I.T.E ect... life goes on guys.
(if you still have doubts, remember there was a lot of modding activity before forge even existed.)

If modding doesn't die, I doubt modpacking will. It'll probably far more of a pain in the ass, but it'll continue.
I don't think modpacking will die. Just that it will take a while to adapt to new things.
Edit: lol just said the exact same things Heil just said
FTB was born do to difficulties in mod packing. So I don't think things will get to bad.
That's just unreasonable. People make mistakes and that's no excuse to want to strip them of everything they have. Lex has been on the ev team for a while and I thonk someone just needs to knock some sense into him.
What I don't understand, even after all these years, is why the hell are Minecraft Modders (and many players) such Drama Queens? TBH it's getting pretty damn boring seeing the same petty comments.
We are all here playing, modding & improving the same game for our mutual enjoyment, so why all the hate and drama? I came here (as in to Minecraft, not FTB) originally from the Morrowind community, and while it had bad days, it was never as vile and toxic as the Minecraft community. (note, FTB community I find to be the best and least toxic, people generally get on here and help/support each other in everything)

I think this modding community has a higher toxic rate than other communities due to the openness of Minecraft.
It attracts very different people with clashing personalities.

Openness in which sense? Mojang is not exactly encouraging mods (see obfuscation and stuff)

Mojang could've made the modders' life easier if they wanted to

Openness in the sense that almost any concept would work within the game- the sheer variety of genres and ideas this encompasses compared to other modded games is staggering.
As a result the inherent friction and incompatibility is simply inevitable- by the very definition of what we do it is impossible to avoid and occurs far more frequently in comparison to other communities.

The 1.7 update and new launcher says a lot about what Mojang thinks of modding; pursuing some over complex theoretical ideal, rather than a practical working solution that gets it done.
Let me see if I understand this correctly:
1. No one is allowed to ASM any bugfixes into forge
2. Since vanilla does not require J8, no one can use it
Well, what about when vanilla only required J5, and forge required using J6 -- and permitted people to have mods that required J7 on top of that? At the time, Macs were generally running one version behind (J6 was never formally released for the PPC, and while there was an early dev version of it, which was enough to run minecraft, if you did not get it early it was not available to get later; for the 10.6 OS that runs on older intel machines, there is no J7 available at all).
And, can't ASM fixes into Forge? That kills at least Reika who has to work around a forge bug triggered by removing his DragonAPI library -- which as I understand it is triggering that bug by working around other limitations of forge involving minecraft technical blocks that don't have an item form.
"Asshole dictator"? I'll just say that I was banned from the forge forums, after asking for help trying to get started modding, and then trying to report a bug that destroyed a world with "recommended", and not wanting to have to try to duplicate destroying a world with "latest" when "latest" kept changing all the time and different mods would break on different versions, and some had bugs.

How can I contribute a pull request to MinecraftForkage? I seriously want to make fixes to the biome dictionary defaults and "MakeBestGuess()". I'd love to see a big overhaul of it, but that gathered zero support from biome-mod makers and some significant dictionary users.
