You know how I am often taking about "unplayable means fun" types who force their entire server to adhere to the admin's sadistic idea of fun? These are the kind of people I mean. And these plugins are popular. I have been banned from many servers for violating these sorts of "no farming/no iron/no whatever" rules, too.
So if i run a server the way i want, its not ok, but mod devs are supposed to be able to make a mod however they want?
think about that for a second. If someone comes here and says "I dont like this mod because xyz" they get attacked and told 'the mod dev can do what he wants, its HIS server, if you dont like it, dont use it."
Which is totally true. people can voice their opinions though, and a smart developer should listen. If you want people to play it, listen to feedback, as long as it is presented in a polite way of course. If you dont care, and just want to stick to your vision, thats fine too.
Now tell me why this make sense, but apparently you can criticize someone like me FOR PAYING FOR MY OWN SERVER and doing WHAT I WANT WITH IT?
The whole thing is silly anyway, did you read those threads? I clicked the one that asked about removing armor protection. The guy wants to remove the vanilla values so he can set his own. He might even want to BUFF it, and not nerf armor at all.
But from the post title, it sounds like he wants to make armor offer zero protection.
I clicked another one, removing enchantments. One guy said he wanted to remove protection IV, but keep lower level protection enchantments.
What happens is if someone comes here and says they would like to amke the game harder, people often say that the game was not MEANT to be hard. "Vanilla is easy too, its how the agme is, its not supposed to be a combat game"
And in the same breath, people will say that minecraft is a sandbox and
we can all play the game how we want.
But if someone wants a plugin to remove Protection 4 to make combat a teeny tiny bit mroe challenging, they're a sadist.
