So you are trying to make a system to help mod makers get money for there mods?
and because something exist you can't try to remake it and make that better?
I don't know. make it the donator not cost money? Make it in game? Make an framework so that people that donated get a cape/whatever for that mod? {insert more ways here}How can you make a donation link to a mod better
You know what. Screw it. Here comes my speech. *ahem*
I once dreamed that I would create games and mods that everybody loved and that I would live off it. But, it seems the attempts of many have failed at the same dream. This snake of a community, that tells these modders they love them, then when the modders ask for well deserved money for their work, they are poisoned. Made to look bad. A poison, that has no easy cure, because the community, together, never forget. No, a modder who has asked for money for creations, may never be cured. So now, this is my dream. Not to please the spiteful community, but to create an antidote to make peace between the snake and the modders. This. This is the antidote. Project Creator. Now you may think this is like any other failed attempt, but I believe I have found a compromise. You modders don't want pay to win, the community don't want forced pay. So. Why not in-between? Cosmetic and non game-changing perks, for a payment every month. Oh. And I want some money to go to charity too. Seriously guys, you're the good guys, we do charity right? Oh and you can optionally give a small percentage to me. Just read the notes:
PROJECT CREATOR
This notepad is for details to remind about the future Project Creator when I get round to making it.
1. A website will be used where users can view the cosmetic and non game changing perks you can get for each mod.
2. You can get the cosmetic perks without paying if you support the mod a lot and the owner of the mod agrees to it.
3. Cosmetic and non game changing perks are given to you through a minecraft mod made by me. The mod you have donated to will be what the perk is related to.
4. I will create the perks if the mod maker asks to have their mod added to it, not the mod maker, but the mod maker is required to make the project creator mod a hard dependency if they want to be added.
5. The mod maker can choose how much of the donations to give away, but there is a minimum of 5% to charity, and giving more to me than charity is not allowed. I may reject adding the mod if people only give the bare minimum though, and updates will be prioritized for more generous modders.
6. The charity donated to will be different every month.
7. The perks will be toggleable on and off.
8. The mod creator will be granted god-like powers over his own mod.
9. I will do an hours/two hours work on learning how to program every weekend, but not during exam times.
10. If it is successful, expand to other games!

It sounds like a good idea and all, however...
It seems a little ambitious. Not trying to be rude. Still, it sounds like a fairly large under taking.
the website part is the bit I can pretty much already do, but if I need help with it, I'll ask you. Thanks.
You mean the server side or html and stuff? because if done correctly you don't need to write a character java unless I am mistaken you can justthe website part is the bit I can pretty much already do, but if I need help with it, I'll ask you. Thanks.
get content makers to sign up-> they get a key -> when someone logs in mod sends key to server -> server responds with info needed for mod to unlock or block content -> mod does so
Ummm. Well I'd need to write the mod and everything. Actually now, thinking about it, I don't know how to allow people to pay for something on the website.
