Maybe I see too much bad in people, but I have a bad feeling he might just take the money and run :/

I dunno about that, I feel he would probably make the mod, as he seems to actually have a vested interest in the mod... but there is no need for a kickstarter for it

ConflictHelper 1.0.0
This is a small mod for finding biome and potion id conflicts before they corrupt your worlds. The mod will generate a list of all found conflicts in minecraft/idconflicts.txt, and show a warning GUI.

Spoiler: Screenshot

You might also want to add enchantment IDs to that list. And mob IDs if that's a thing.

 

[NJM1564]

Enchantment ids already throw an exception. I could extend it to add some more information though. Mob ids are automatic, unless mods are registering mobs the wrong way. I guess I could still catch it.

The key to success is to play for other peoples mistakes.

In the interest of not repeating myself everywhere, I'll direct you to what I said here.

I would also like to mention that a mod author's job doesn't end when the mod is done because a mod is never truly done. My mod in particular has compatibility with over a dozen other mods. This requires almost constant bug fixes and updates, not to mention keeping up with vanilla MC's rewrites for each version. There's also responding to emails, forum posts, and private messages and other community management stuff. Does Reika or Azanor work any less now because their mods are 'done'?

seriously though what the frak dous doujin have to do with modded minecraft in any way? Wait, actually, I don't think I want to know the answer to that question.

In fact the maintaining software is the most expensive part of it.

I'm hardly a stickler for formatting posts, but a indication of what mod you are talking about before you post relevant information might be a good idea.
I'm still not sure if you are talking about moulder armor or if that is an unrelated comment.

new day, new update, and today it's @TheGoldVane with DoggyStyle

DoggyStyle adds domestic dog breeds to Minecraft, along with more advanced AI and a few fun dog-centric features.
Dogs can be found roaming around the world and can be tamed just like wolves. But they have so much more style! They have more advanced AI, a custom interface, varying vital statistics, and a lot more is on the way.
DoggyStyle also adds dog houses, which are a convenient place to keep your dogs, a way to ensure they don't die, and a place for them to heal. They're also customizable with different types of wood and different colored roofs.

Dog Breeds:

• Beagle
• Chihuahua
• Dalmation
• Doberman Pinscher
• German Shepherd
• Great Dane
• Labrador
• Pembroke Welsh Corgi
• Siberian Husky

• And more coming soon!

and @TeNNoX with CustomSelectionBox

There was an awesome mod called "Custom Block Selection Box" by BeastGamer:
But it edits base classes, so it wasn't compatible with some many other mods, it was for Minecraft 1.3.1, and not updated for ages, and also all downloadlinks are broken...

So I made a new one, without any baseclass edited, with an awesome settings screen, and for the newer Minecraft versions (starting with 1.5)!
I also added some new functions: disabled depth buffer and custom block break animations (check them out!)

Break animation 'SHRINK' - example GIF:

Fair does, but honestly, I still feel like KS is the wrong way to go about it.
I understand your argument a little better now, but wouldn't a wage be better than a salary? I know that I spend most of my minuscule wage in the first 2 weeks of the month, and then the rest I have to be cautious with (being on a terrible wage doesn't help, less than $800 a month), and I know if I was doing what you are doing, I would want the money to come through at <x> a month (with a possibility of that wage increasing). So something like Patreon.
Because what happens if you don't reach a MASSIVE amount of money? You don't get any, at least with Patreon you would be able to get $100, $200 a month and say "This isn't enough to live on, but I could (if you wanted to) change jobs to something that is less hours, and pays similar"

Oh yes that makes since I should have known it was him as that is the only one of all the thousands of mods and mod devs that I failed to memorize. :/

When you talk to him almost daily, you get used to the fact that the only mod he thinks about every day is MA

If I get $800 dollars a month or I have a bunch of money in the bank and I budget $800 a month, what's the difference?
$10,000 is not a "MASSIVE" amount of money. It's just not. I can pretty easily make 8x that per year working full time. My contractor rate is $125/hr. I'm willing to give up the money to do what I love. If I work another job (that I would likely hate) then THAT job would take time away from mod development AND it wouldn't be enough to live on. That doesn't make sense. I can be middle class, or I can be a modder. You guys get to choose.

I don't understand what you're saying here.

I think that you're insinuating that I wouldn't have enough to do, but I posted a message in my kickstarter updates to say that I would be developing a brand new cable/pipe mod in partnership with Asie from Buildcraft in addition to developing a new mod to modify the world physics for my underwater adventure map and mod pack.

Well to me $10,000 is a lot... I don't even make $8,000 in a year, and I am working 42 hours a week. So I see $10k as a fair amount.
And I dunno about you, but if I have the cash there I will spend it. I will say "I'm only gonna spend $60 this week, but end up spending close to $100" (which is a lot saying that that is almost a week's wage for me)
And I know that if I was to get a raise, which quick frankly I should seeing as I don't even get 1/2 NMW, I would spend all the extra money I get at once.
And if I was to get my salary all in one go? It'd be gone within 2 or 3 months.

I am not saying you are the same, but I am just saying that I see that as being they way it is.

Guys, if you would like to continue this debate can I ask that you take it to the RED thread or a convo and not continue to clutter up the news thread, please?
