IC2 Crisis (Which is now over)

People are allowed to copy, adapt and modify mods, but I see nothing about distibution of copied, modified oradapted stuff. Is it just me getting something wrong?!

That further supports the theory that the Combine launched an attack on Mojang, altered the Information but was then defeated by the swedish MP's(Member of Parliament)

Why would Player decide to declare the end of IC2?

That's why you usually refrain from using that kind of languages in EULAs.

I really don't see anything that's a sign to the 'end of IC2' or the 'end of Minecraft Modding'..

I will say, however, we may encounter a race situation on copyrighted content and the defense of said content soon. Since we have so many mods doing the same thing, this is going to be a highly debated issue (one that may, in fact, implode the community), as far as saying "who should have credit for what" and "what content is considered 'original'?"

As far as that goes, I do believe we need to distance ourselves from Modpacks in general, as the resulting Copyright claims will create a new form of legal confusion. Plus, given the fact that neither Alblaka nor Eloraam are around to protect their individual works, making copyright claims on their behalf will be that much harder. I would guess, however, that such distance be used in order to preserve the integrity of this mod, so that violations of this matter don't get haphazardly raised by the uninformed and naive...

This is a good sign as far as getting a more official class of support for Minecraft modding in general, but it's going to hurt, legally, alot of people in the meantime. We'll just have to wait and see how this truly plays out...

That's the part which all the fuzz was about.

I see. I understand Mojang's point entirely in that regard, but in some respects, that is a tad bit overboard. Proprietary speaking, Mojang does have a final say on mods in terms of Minecraft (since they are, obviously, dependent on their product to work). But still, the community is still left to their own devices in order to create, design, and facilitate distribution of their works to the community.

I would like to see a Minecraft Workshop for mods that you can click and upload/download from in terms of how Mods are handled. Something akin to Steam's Workshop in terms of how custom content can be distributed per user as well. I doubt that Mojang will reach that level of sophistication, however...

Wait? That rule is already in since a long time. Remember when Jeb added Pistons? I think that is exactly this Rule.

Then i don't even know what the fuzz is about. Like that is exactly saying what Player was criticising.

I'm watching this thread like it was a favorite television show. I haven't logged on in so long that I forgot my profile and had to start a new one . . . but it was worth it to stay on the pulse of what is perhaps my favorite mod.

politics, especially in legal form, will always ruin everything in it's path.

Theyre all gone! The three people that started major minecraft modding, albaka, spacetoad and eloraam have all left minecraft! Even the technic pack which caused the push for mod compatibility has been replaced by other modpacks. The end is near Im afraid.
