Rules to post "Patches for Mods"

Please, read them carefully before posting a new thread.

Before creating and posting a MOD support patch for PureBDcraft, you must read, understand and agree with the PureBDcraft Terms of Use.

With the according terms, by default, you are not authorized to create derivative work based on the PureBDcraft texturepack.

I waive this condition of use for MODs support only if, and only if, the following conditions are met:

:warning: Remember, when using other people's patches/textures/resources they reserve all rights to those files. It's generally accepted that they allow reuse and rehosting of such resources as part of the community spirit.

What to do

  • MOD support must be released as a "patch" of PureBDcraft. That means you are not allowed to rehost the main pack in full or in part within your patch.
  • MOD support must be released on this forum. You can also release it in any other forum.
  • The thread dedicated to the MOD support patch must include the MOD banner (if any), the link to the MOD (website or forum thread), a short description of the MOD, a preview (one or more pictures), credits and download section.
  • The thread dedicated to the MOD support patch must be proofread and written in the best English you can manage before being submitted.
  • Remember to always give proper credits to the people who worked on the patch.
  • Downloads should be in .mcpack format.
    • To create a .mcpack pack a .zip file normally, and then change the extension to .mcpack
  • Make sure you use a filehost that doesn't require a signup or uses any timers before the download will start (Mediafire or pCloud are decent enough sites).
  • Read the "Tips & Tricks to create textures in the PureBDcraft style" thread.

Note
These files go in the "top level" of your zip in the same place as the textures folder.

What you are not authorized to do

  • You are not authorized to create and release a remixpack or any resourcepack which use one or more textures or files of PureBDcraft (with or without modification).
  • You are not authorized to release your patch under an adf.ly link or any other payment method. You should do this for fun and to help the community, not to make money. If you disagree, let me know by email or by PM, I'll be glad to discuss this with you. If you want to have a permalink, use bit.ly or any other non-paid URL shortner.
  • You are not authorized to claim the work of any other author compiled in your pack as yours.

What you are authorized to do

  • You can use any texture included in PureBDcraft texturepack (recent or old version) or included in official PureBDcraft patches, as long as they are not in the default position of the main pack (e.g. /assets/minecraft/textures/block/pumpkin.png).
  • You can release your patch anywhere you want (other websites or forum threads) as long as you provide due credits to all the patches you include with a link to the patch thread on this forum.
  • You must credit the work used in your work (but not in any way that suggests that the authors endorse you or your use of the work).
  • You can use PureBDcraft and your patch on commercial videos if you want to.
