Rating system for modpacks

[Drbretto]

Triggered much?

Yeah, last straw on that one. Goodbye forever.

Edit: This needs to be said:

This place is for talking about Minecraft. For the entire time I've been here, that's been the case. This has been a shiny little bastion of hope for humanity because this is the one place where people aren't just waiting for their chance to bring this crap up, or to bring up their feelings about Trump, or transgendered people, women's rights, etc, all of it. Absolutely none of it needs to be discussed on this forum, ever. There are already a million other places on the internet where you can talk over each other about them.

I don't know or care what the rules are on this, but this is my rule. Bring this stuff up and I will simply immediately lose all respect for you, put you on ignore and forget your existence. If it becomes something that keeps happening in general, then I will simple abandon this place forever. You don't care about my opinions on this stuff either. No one does. Because everyone generally has already made up their minds, and they're not going to change it unless they want to already, which people can do literally anywhere else but here.

This happens to EVERY single internet discussion board I've ever been to, and I'll be damned if I'm going to sit here and just let it happen to this place, which has been special so far.

I think this has derailed a bit. The scope of what was proposed is nowhere close to the scale being debated. Even if it was, Pack Curators have very little to gain in such a system, aside from name recognition and downloads (neither of which are anything more than ego buffs). The idea of Pack Curators buying off Spotlighters for favorable reviews actually made me chuckle when I started to bring these arguments back to the scale of modded Minecraft. Let's leave all the industry corruption talk for a different thread on a different forum.

I somehow suddenly want to hear someone rate a pack as "4.5 Cows!!"

I'm partial to Giga-chickens myself.

Rating a pack 1.21 Giga-chickens is roughly equivalent to 4.5 Cows. Just more magic based.

Now THAT'S a moo point.

I like this idea! I would also like to point out that you can add whatever singular mod to a pack that you want. If you need help learning how to do this, I would be happy to teach you.

There is something similar on the Curse website. You can sort mods by most downloaded and most liked. (at least you used to be able to) I have spent hours on Curse looking at different mods and sorting them all kinds of different ways. Just a thought.

That is roughly what I have made this for. For things like sorting modpacks by the genres or just looking at the best modpacks with all 10's and best ratings.
