MCreator's mods are getting unoriginal
Fri, 06/05/2020 - 15:21 (edited)

Hello! I haven't been in the "modifications" tab for some time, .but maybe, I shouldn't have seen it, honestly in 2019, I saw many mods like the current ones, simple mods, but without originality or innovation, .I'm not saying that you can't create a spider mod from specific biomes (for example), but do something well done, don't paint a spider blue using a Photoshope say this is a ice spider! In addition to mods like the one shown, we have mods that add two things, two ores, for example. Honestly it is very ridiculous, your mod will not be successful with that, if you can not think of anything better, wait, ideas come and go, write them down on paper, but do not make nonsense nonsense. My first mod was More Crafts, which is still in development, but several people told me it was something very different, especially the mobs, because these are ideas that I had, .I didn't care what people would think, I just put it here, the mod won MOTW, which I think is a great victory, since it is something I created, winning a prize! I didn't know English, I had no notion of codes, nothing at all, but I researched thoroughly and watched tutorials in other languages, created test workspaces and so I went. Don't give up, don't be sad, just do something more different, do what you think, research, observe, you can do it! ;-)

Yes, the criticism is harsh indeed! People have to realize that repetitive mods are bad and no one really cares about adding an ore that has the same attributes as a iron ore (for exemple), .I’m not saying that ore mods are bad. I’m saying that people don’t try at all to do something different! In addition to these types of mods, I mentioned the horrible mobs mods, where the person REALLY does not make an effort, like the example of the ice spider, you paint it blue using a simple edit, and says that this is an ice spider, OK, you put it in the mod and it doesn't even work to make a spider system, just put the texture and name, but it's still a common spider! The same happens with several and several other mobs mods, they are the same AIs, people don't even lend themselves to create a system or something!

Obviously I know the MOTW tab xD

I already tried but the company didn’t accept me, I wanted to update the topics about the mod elements, for example, help in maintaining repeated mods, spam etc ...

Was it the age problem? We generally accept anyone that is on the website for a while, has some reputation on the website and is old enough.

Tue, 01/28/2020 - 19:54

In my time of MCreator I have seen some mods that are definitely redundant in content. A lot of mods that add in a material/resource/tool/weapon/etc and something simple, not small or big, just simple. Some of those mods are good or at least decent because there is something about them that makes it a bit different or innovative without having some advanced technical things to it. Some aren't because of the topic being done over and over to the point of it not being worth viewing. It works the same way on other sites. 

Naturally, I am probably not one to talk (if someone remembers the mods of my past), but I have kind of grown farther from that more and more and strive to make more interesting mods whether on or off MCreator.

Exactly, you understand what I mean. Something simple, but well done, something thought out!

Tue, 02/04/2020 - 22:44

I know I've been very inactive recently so I don't know much about the most recent mods, but I actually feel that they are a lot better than what they used to be.

I remember that this summer, back when I checked the most recent mods almost everyday, there was at least one decent mod everyday (enoughto be played and enjoyed) and a great one (enough to get MOTW) every three days. And you could still see a little bit of creativity in almost all the others.

Instead, back in the days when I joined MCreator, the situation was very different - almost every single mod was an ore mod and "decent mods" basically were MOTW winners (and not even all of them; RaolCraft 2 and 3, which won MOTW multiple times, for example, were really bad mods which added every random feature I could come up with, without even playtesting it much - those mods were in fact so bugged they instantly crashed as soon as you created a normal type mod).

But those were the considered the good mods back then. There weren't many alternatives though (but I consider many mods made in those years to be a lot better than the first Raolcrafts). And the situation remained the same for years, maybe until a few months before the introduction of procedures.

So, to sum up, I honestly feel that MCreator mods grew up a lot in quality and a good part of them can't even be distinguished from coded mods. It's true, there still are quite a few unoriginal mods here, but everyone is free to do whatever he/she wants, and if someone likes to make random mods for fun, then let just that person have fun.

I'm sorry for my bad English and I hope this long text didn't bother you :P

Hello! I just though I would say something about mod quality. I joined MCreator around 2015/2016, to be fair most of the mods at that time were pretty rubbish. I felt that the MOTW mods were mostly popular because of the amount of stuff in them, not the quality of content (sorry if I offended anyone by saying that).

I tried to do something original and often failed because of my lack of java skills at the time and MCreator not having that many features, hence, my earliest mod about sickles is pretty rubbish because I was unable to execute my ideas well. I feel that back then the 'bad' mods were a lack of ability to do something different. Since the creation of the procedure system, however, the quality of mods have increased greatly.

Because of the good quality of these new mods, it has attracted many new people to the site. Unfortunately, these new people often just want to make something quickly and post it. This does make me sad to see people not putting effort into their work. But if you sift through the bad mods; you can still find some great ones, ones that aren't buggy and are based off a great idea. It just takes people to promote these good mods so that their creators will continue to make good mods. 

Anyway, thanks for reading this wall of text. See you later.

- Sssssh

Right Raol, the quality of MCreator has increased, but that of people, no, if you want to create mods for fun, ok, but don't fill the site with your "amusements" and turn the site into a playground of repetitive and "quick" creations, to get downloads and a "nice" comment. And no, the message didn't get bad (yours) xD.

As I said in the reply to Raol's comment, MCreator really improved, you may have done "bad" mods in the past, but today you research, you think and brainstorm ideas to be able to do your best, you don't just take a stone from the vanilla , paint red and say "Pedra de Fogo Mod" ready the stone generates in the Nether and is poorly configured, mod created successfully (example of some mods of the site).

I know this is an old thread, but is there a way we can improve MCreator's image.

I searched for a list of bad mods (In general) and people were spamming "McReaTOr ModS"
 

Sometimes people can be as*holes.

I hope eventually it will…
Mon, 05/25/2020 - 18:46

I hope eventually it will improve. But generally, the best is to inform such people, most of them don't even fact-check but blindly follow the agenda that MCreator = bad mods.

I am working on a mod that would be cool, but it hard to do everything by myself. I lack artistic ability, but I can am able to come up with neat ideas. My mod was put to the side many times do to work, school, and life. But I started back on it.
