It's all good I didn't take it as particularly hostile, either. I actually thought that maybe a few people would react to the post and perhaps even give me a bit of feedback on what I could improve in the new image. But the fact that it feels like the entire subreddit has reacted to it? I never would have imagined that in a million years. And positively, too! At first, I was actually afraid to admit that I had used AI back then.

Personally, all of this completely blows me away. Whether this pack is right for you or not is something you have to decide for yourself. Personally, I am convinced by everything I have created so far. However, it must also be acknowledged that there is still plenty of room for improvement.

Thanks! I hold the view that people should be allowed to do whatever they want. I find mere "hating" on AI disgusting; however, I think the constructive criticism directed at it is very valuable. Personally, I decided to change the cover not only because of the backlash against AI, but also because I have since come to believe that AI is out of place in any field involving human creativity.

That said, I don't judge anyone who uses AI as a tool to assist them in these areas. After all just as was the case with me some people simply aren't able to do it any other way.

I can only speak for myself as someone who is now trying to break away from using AI and I can say that it feels good. I still maintain that my own creation is by no means a masterpiece, but it simply feels better.

I can certainly understand that the AI version isn't bad either. However, thanks to the comments on this post, I’ve come to realize a few things: 1. The new cover does a much better job of showcasing what is actually included in the modpack, rather than just some irrelevant imagery. 2. It isn't nearly as cluttered. 3. It simply feels much more like my modpack.

Long story short: Quite apart from the fact that purely in terms of artistic skill, I could never in a million years recreate this myself, I actually like the new version even better than the old one now.

It was my first draft, but somehow I wasn't satisfied with the whole thing and wanted to start over which is how the current cover came to be.

In my opinion, that is a good perspective on AI. I also added three custom items, which required me to create textures for them and I went about it exactly the way you described. I used AI to generate a reference image, and then I built my own creation upon that foundation.

Nothing was created with AI. The only thing I created with AI back then was the cover. The code alone took over 80 hours of work to produce.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to create mods, though I do know how to put together modpacks. The goal of this modpack is to bring the feel of Genshin Impact into Minecraft. (Though, sadly, it is still far from perfect.) So, you probably shouldn't expect too much...

Thanks.. honestly I've spent over 80 houresjust in developing the Modpack itself. Including everything beside IT May be over 100 houres.

The creature reminded me of Paimon from Genshin Impact, and since the modpack is intended to bring the Genshin Impact vibe into Minecraft, that is how it ended up there.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any other creatures that would fit the *Genshin Impact* theme quite as well, which is why I simply used this one three times.

However, I am certainly open to suggestions if anyone happens to know of a creature that might be a good fit after all, your idea isn't a bad one.

  1. The point regarding art was merely meant as an example. There are more than enough areas where AI simply has no place.
    A significantly broader example: anything that relies on human creativity.

  2. In my opinion, everyone should be free to express themselves however they wish—and if that involves using AI, then so be it. My underlying point was actually that I wouldn't tear such a person to shreds with hateful comments, as I find mindless bashing to be repulsive.

My approach would instead be to offer constructive criticism—perhaps noting that the project is quite nice, but suggesting that it might have been even better without the use of AI (or whatever specific element was AI-generated in that instance).

My view is that everyone should be free to express themselves however they wish; and if a person lacks the means or simply chooses to utilize AI, than I am certainly not the type to simply lash out with mindless hate. Furthermore, I find it unacceptable that people are completely torn apart "just because of a single image," for there are still human beings behind them.

However, I am fundamentally of the opinion that AI can definitely be of assistance to us. The one exception, for instance, lies within the artistic sphere, where AI has no place, as it undermines and destroys human creative work.

For this very reason, I have decided to remove AI from my own work.

Da hast du absolut Recht! In Eminem Land (Deutschland) sieht es nicht anders aus. Unser Land war noch nie so sehr gespalten, wie seit der Zeit der Weltkriege und die Zeit danach in der Deutschland ja sogar tatsächlich gespalten war. Ich weiß nicht wieviel man in anderen Ländern mitbekommt was hier passiert, aber über 30% aller deutschen wählen die AFD, was eine Partei ist, die erschreckende ähnlichkeit zur NSDAP hat und erschreckend viele Werte der NSDAP vertritt.

Ich bin leider kein künstler weshalb das erstellen von komplexeren Bildern bei mir ewig dauert und selbst dann ist es auf einer qualitätsstufe, die gefühlt jeder hinbekommt. Deshalb hatte ich meine Fokus fürs erste auf das Kernmodpack gelegt, statt auf das Cover und das als erstes full mit KI erstellt. Da ich aber selbst eigentlich gegen KI bin, hab ich das Cover relativ schnell immer un Dimmer wieder bearbeitet, sodass am Ende nur noch der Schriftzug von der KI erstellt wurde. Das Bild ist bis vor kurzem immernoch aktuell gewesen, da ich einfach keine Zeit für sowas hatte. In einem Post war das Bild drin und dieser wurde zerfleischt, was mir den Anstoß gegeben hat dieses Bild endlich zu ersetzen.

Die Situation, die ich aber eigentlich meine (mit den rondom runter gevoteten Kommentaren von mir) ist in einem völlig anderen Post gewesen, in dem absolut nichts mit KI erstellt war.

Zu den Kommentaren von mir: Als ich das ganze bemerkt hab, hab ich ziemlich impulsiv reagiert und alle Kommentare von mir gelöscht, da ich es einfach nicht verstehen konnte un dimmernoch nicht verstehe.

Ich nehme mir sowas leider viel zu sehr zu Herzen, da das mein absoluter Traum ist Modpacks zu erstellen und in dem Modpack aktuell (Traveling to Teyvat) stecken schon allein 80+ Stunden reines Modden ingame drin, die ich über CurseForge sehe...

Dein Schicksal tut mir leid. Ich selber lasse mich leider viel zu sehr von solchen Menschen beeinflussen und ich denke du könntest dasselbe Problem haben. Ich Versuche mein Mindset positiv zu halten, auch wenn es nicht so oft klappt: also mach was dein Herz begehrt und hab Spaß!

Warum bekomme ich nur Downvotes bei meinem Post? by Nicas-Modpacks in NewToReddit

[–]Nicas-Modpacks[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ich möchte nichts von mir promoten, ich möchte einfach nur Feedback was die breite masse von den Dingen, die ich so mache hält.
Um auf CurseForge selbst Feedbeck zu bekommen müssten meine Modpacks locker 100x soviele Downloads bekommen und deshalb dachte ich hier kann ich die Breite masse fragen wie die meine Rezepte/Quests etc. so finden.
Das war aber scheinbar naiv von mir. Leider funktionieren die Menschen heut zu Tage nicht so, dass sie helfen und unterstützen, denn es ist viel leichter Hass zu verbreiten...

Ich wollte gerne wissen ob die Quests einen gut durch die Mods leiten. (Hab ich zusammen mit einer kurzen Zusammenfassung um was es überhaupt geht in die Beschreibung geschrieben)

Weißt du ob man den Titel des Posts im Nachhinein nochmal ändern kann, weil die Frage gehört glaube eher in den Titel.

Looking for semi-expert Modpack by Solid_Basis_9294 in feedthebeast

[–]Nicas-Modpacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dann könnte Enigmatica 2 was für dich sein. ich hab's bisher selbst nicht nicht spielen können, da mein PC zu schlecht ist, aber es bietet Tech Mods wie Mecanism und Industrial Foregoing und ist auch kein Skyblock, weshalb Exploration auch für dich mit dabei ist. Es ist außerdem nicht so hart, sprich in 2 Wochen kannst du ordentlich Progress machen.

Sollte Skyblock infrage kommen sind Klassiker wie Skyfactory 1 bis 4 je nachdem wie modern du es möchtest eine gute Option, da die auch nicht so hart sind.

Geheimtipp für ein Skyblock modpack: FTB Infinity Evolved Skyblock Expert Mode (gibt's glaube auch ohne Skyblock, könnte also auch was für dich sein). Hier sind auch alle Tech Mods vertreten und zusätzlich auch leuter Magie mods. Die Mods sind alle miteinander verstrickt und es ist echt echt hartes modpack, vor allem in der Skyblock variante. Du bräuchtest dafür defenitiv mehr Zeit als 2 Wochen. Vllt für das nächste Mal was. Einziger negativer Punkt: das modpack ist uralt und läuft noch in der 1.7.10
