in the announcement post for this, i lacked critical information regarding the mods. the modpack being used is Create Extra, which appears to be mostly performance, minor aesthetic, and QOL mods. it shouldn’t result in a performance decrease compared to vanilla
if you want to check out the mods contained in the modpack, here is a link
so again, the options are vanilla+ (server-side mods only) or modded (server- and client-side mods)
for vanilla+
for modded
voting will end Monday, Aug 5 at 5 PM UTC (1 PM EST)
sorry for the confusion 
also this server will be pirate-friendly
At least you can have a discussion why it's bad with others, versus the incredibly facile, consumerist practice of talking about mods.
Mods are the least consumerist part of gaming though. They're made and distributed for free, purely because people wanted to make them.
Countering with paid mods and every single "sexy woman companion"-type mod in Skyrim
what the fuck are you being unironic here
This is the first time you've encountered a true gamer and not a Redditoid game consumer.
modding is the least consumerist way to consume the useless meaningless trash slop that is every single game in the mainstream industry
No it's not.
wait until you find out that there are mods that exist that:
like two thirds of these are completely immune to the criticisms of "consumerism" or "disrespecting the artist's vision". that's because the point is to either make something entirely new with the same technical grounding, or to specifically remove or change a part of the artist's vision because they didn't like it after engaging with it deeply enough to understand what needed changing
if this is an "i ate the onion" thing than please understand that i can't tell tone over the internet, am autistic, and that people who believe this kind of shit do genuinely exist, so i have no reason to actually believe it's a joke
Paid mods are not mods, they're DLC in a mask. And sure horny mods can be bad but I don't see how they're consumerist.
consumerism is when I write different words in a book I had
Mods on this website better not be paid, while I'm rantin'. I only wanna' be censored by someone with a true love of censorship and not a slave to the dollar.
how are mods inherently less valid than a game made from whole cloth? the difference is murky at best and nonexistent at worst. you are aware that a large amount of games STARTED as mods for other games, right?
if someone made a mod that was it's own entire story using the Half-Life 2 engine, why does that just randomly stop being valid even though using an existing game engine to make a game is literally what the majority of "original" games (which are what you apparently think are "less consumerist" somehow) do
