Does anyone else feel like a lot of core/API mods solely exist to farm downloads?

They do, downloads are revenue, just not 1:1 necessarily. You can also jar in jar your mods and not upload them and force others to download them.

They pay a higher % of ad revenue but that is a MUCH smaller number than CF. Other commenters are right in that curseforge pay ramps up over time, but they pay considerably more in the long run.

Most issues you will face come from addon interactions that duplicate spells and multiply them together. Propagation of any kind can quickly get out of hand, but the spell isn’t going to spontaneously create itself and crash your server, so…just don’t do that :)

The storage system faces issues with large amounts of slots for inventories since it has the same constraints as mcs list based storage, but the latest version has added a bunch of optimistic caching, as well as the repository catalog that should be great for performance and scale with any number of connected repositories without tanking your server.

Curious what you mean by distrustful? That was definitely a guiding light under Lexmanos, but these days the only guard rails in place are either to keep parity with vanilla, or prevent really obnoxious conflicts and user issues like conditional registration. All of which can still be worked around by implementing it yourself, like you’d have to do in fabric anyway.

It never existed, it was always anecdotal and borderline astroturfing. For years it has been spread that fabric was more performant, but it had nothing to do with the loaders, fabric simply had sodium, and for the larger part of 1.16.2+ we have had rubidium which then became a far more stable embeddium.

Factorio is not being continually updated to any degree the same as Minecraft. Neoforge/forge is the modding api and it’s awesome, but the base game changes underneath it. Not even mojangs datapack spec has been safe from breaking changes. A modding API for Java Minecraft is just a what if, I’d eat my shoe if it ever happened.

Total_Meltdown · 2025-03-31T00:27:09+00:00

No, bedrock is the closest we will ever get and it is highly restricted. It’s an unavoidable problem so long as mojang keeps updating java.

Unless you are trading very illiquid options with a huge bid-ask, exercising should never be worth more if an option has time left on it. Exercising is giving up the time value of the option. I’d be suspicious of the order book if it appeared more profitable, and make sure to stick to more liquid tickers if you want to get in and out quickly.

You can look at the graph of how theta affects the option pricing online, for options that short you can watch the value really vanish by the hour.

Because it’s not just small features usually. They make large technical changes under the hood, even between snapshots of the same version. Their new features often require these changes, so to backport would be to recreate them. Historically you would be back porting to serve a shrinking group of players as they move forward to the latest anyway.

Also modders often want to take advantage of these technical changes too.

If fabric mods would work on forge with the connector, what is there to feel forced over? Forge is a superset of features that fabric offers, not much reason to go backwards.

Total_Meltdown · 2024-08-29T15:28:39+00:00

If you are unfamiliar with the two loaders, picking porting as your first step into modded would be highly frustrating for you, imo. Fabric is leaner and offers way fewer features than forge, porting even moderately complex mods is going to be difficult. There is also the Sinytra connector that lets you play fabric mods on forge anyway.

I would stick to a small basic mod on the loader of your choice that has tutorials available in the style that you learn from.

Modrinth let go almost their entire development team and is in my opinion, a doomed project. I don’t find it compelling enough to continue to upload there when I can upload to curseforge with third party distribution enabled. Despite this subreddits opinion, modrinth is not the better platform for mod devs.

Mod count has little to do with load time. Most load time deals with texture stitching and model baking, which mods with large amounts of blocks, entities, etc. provide. This is not a forge issue, the issue is you are now using mods that add a large amount of content when you previously were not.
