Dislike Tekkit?

[NASI Director]

I was watching something about Minecraft environmentalists and in the comments it said something about them freaking out over Tekkit. Does that mean people hate Tekkit, because I kind of like it...

[OtherDalfite]

Does it matter? Play what you like. It's a single player game.

I like it too, tho I play with my own mod-packs.

Maybe some freak out over tekkit because at one time (IIRC) Tekkit didn't ask permission from the mod makers.

Minecraft environmentalists wtf?

That's what it is. I know some LPers on youtube that will not touch Tekkit because of the controversy. Doesn't stop the fans from begging, though...

Who cares if tekkit asked permission. Mod makers have no ownership over their code anyway legally given the EULA of Minecraft itself (seriously, Read it).

Dev's who write mods for minecraft are basically just attention seeking retards who are good at Java. If you are concerned about it use Feed the Beast. But tekkit is where it started. That said I haven't touched minecraft since I found KSP.

There were a number of mod makers who during that "controversy" deliberately wrote kill lines into their mods if they detected tekkit running as well. This is pretty much just a child throwing their toys. If I was a mod author I'd have been happy people were using my mods not having to install the 80+ mods each individually and worrying about interlocking updates and all sorts of other conflicts. Tekkit did it all for you but apparently that was "too good" cause some people got their panties in a knot.

Did I mention I hate minecraft devs by and large?

Well, you aren't a mod maker by the sounds of it, so you wouldn't understand their point of view. If you make a mod its your baby and you want to make the most of it yourself, in your own way. some people will make modding systems to make modding easier (plugin writers like Tosh for example, the original carts mod, very open to development), some people will make their own mods, maybe based on those systems or entirely independant. Some will change their minds over time. But that should still be their decision.

If you invented something, and another person took it away from you without asking, and marketed it with a bunch of other stuff hes taken off other people, I don't think you'd be too chuffed either.

Admittedly, I do use Tekkit, because I like it. But it doesn't mean I agree with what they did, or your post content.

This is the point where I wish Minecraft mods and licence.

TT, I understand your PoV but the guy writing tekkit isn't making any money off it. So realistically he's distributing your work to thousands of other people who otherwise wouldn't have SEEN your work in the first place because as we both know, maintaining each individual mod you download for minecraft (and all the server maintenance and logging that goes with it) is a complete nightmare.

I agree. I'm a firm believer in the concept of "no harm, no foul." In the case of free mods, as entaran said here, you really shouldn't complain if money isn't changing hands. And as far as I'm aware, Tekkit hasn't passed off any of the mods as its own. I personally would be thankful for inclusion in a major modpack, permission or not. Yes, asking permission is basic respect, but I can't see any reason to really throw a fit about it when the reality is "Yo dawg, this is Minecraft." Which reminds me, I need to Google "IRL Fights over Minecraft" because 1) my day has not had enough lulz, and 2) I found myself having faith in humanity once today. Neither of these things are acceptable.

Personally, I don't use Tekkit. I did previously, but now I just piecemeal my own mods. While it's a bigger hassle to update, they update faster since you don't have to wait for all of them to be updated at once.

Youtube is full with haters and lovers. Simply ignore the haters. I like tekkit to, but I don't play it. And also:

Yo don't seem to realize that most people who play Minecraft don't even know that its its own separate mod. The Minecraft community is a couple intelligent people, and millions of really, really, stupid ones.
