..nothing makes me so special, everyone should have it at the same time, with exceptions of course. I'm fine with closed betas and dev versions out for testing for the author's freinds, but I will never tolerate a paywall beta.

...Yes, you said so before. Why the hell not? It's HIS mod. HE made it. HE coded it. HE implemented the features. HE and HE alone has the right to decide its distribution. As I said before, what's so bad about getting a little back for his hard work? And besides, just have some patience. He WILL release it to the public once it's out of beta. Good things come to those who wait, my friend.

Wonderful. Now I'm going to rant about this on my blog, and then swear at my pillow, get on my comp, and get back to minetweaking. I sure as hell don't agree with you, and people will start hating me if I drop a section of the EULA here, so I'm just going to stop here.

At this point people are going to just agree to disagree. Nothing more can really change.
On a new topic, have people played around with the new CoFH world gen json files? It legit doesn't get much better than that.

Quote away, but there's absolutely nothing in the EULA that says CJ cannot keep his beta builds private, or available to his donators.

Betas are not always public. You guys really need to squash this false belief. Like fast.

You can keep it private. However, you cannot charge money for a mod.

its his mod, he can as long as he doesnt charge ingame.

edit: there is absolutely nothing preventing somebody from creating a paywalled mod/plugin/whatever. but it would be stupid to do so, nobody would use it. because servers.

Anyway, I'm going to shut up and wait for someone to criticize me on my blog so I can argue with them there without fear of being banned here.

I fail to see how he's charging for it. Those who have donated get it a little earlier (and buggier), those who didn't get a full release with minimal bugs and all the features. He's not saying you have to pay money to play his mod.

This is where both positions start to get shaky. On one hand, you cannot charge for a mod, on the other, does that apply to individual builds or the entire mod?

Don't hate the player. The EULA is aimed at servers, not modders. The code they write is their own. As a server owner, you may not charge for access to the mods or items, that's all the EULA is saying. I apologize for being the bearer of bad news.

Also this; 3rd section last paragraph.

I think it's the entire mod, but I have no idea because A) I don't work for Mojang, B) I don't know law, and C) I don't think anyone actually knows.

 

[midi_sec]

I'm fairly well versed in legalese, I should write a guide breaking the EULA down. :\

 

[trajing]

Anyone who wants to continue arguing with me please message me for a link to my blog, as I'm not going to risk being banned to prove a point.
Also, with my lack of self-control, this is going to downgrade into a shitfest

 

[midi_sec]

At this point, you're only arguing with Mojang. Have fun bro.

There's a whole topic about it here: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/cofh-custom-ore-generation-cheat-sheet.48678/

Also, if it adds Fabricators we have all of XyCraft back. Yay!

Only thing it needs is Unity textures. Although honestly EVERY mod could use Unity textures.

You mean something like this?

As cool as the features are, the recipe and those textures make me cringe.

Nice find. Going to be grabbing that. A mod that does what it says without a million little extras.

 

[Nfrance]

Mhmm, that mod looks delicious. Is there a 1.7.10 version, in case I manage to get minecraft to work for 1.7.10
