  Your browser is holding you back. Level up with Opera GX: <a href="https://operagx.gg/SkyBoi">https://operagx.gg/SkyBoi</a><br><br>CORRECTIONS:<br>- Lunar Client did not steal Replay Mod. According to the owner, they did not realize they were breaking the license.<br>- The clip at the start IS a mod from 2010, but the video itself is a few years newer.<br>- I plan to make a follow up video covering WHY Microsoft is doing this. Originally not allowing creators to be paid was a decision by Notch to create a community of hobbyists, but Microsoft realized they could use it to profit in a completely different way through bedrock&apos;s marketplace. Also will be advocating for a more nuanced solution than just &quot;allow everyone to charge whatever they want!&quot;

  The worst part is: THIS ONLY AFFECTS JAVA MODDING, BEDROCK &quot;MODDERS&quot; CAN JUST POST SOME RANDOM SH<a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/t">#T</a> AND CHARGE AS MANY &quot;MINECOINS&quot; AS THEY WANT! WHAT THE HECK MOJANG?

  Preventing paywalling mods may sorta make sense from a business perspective, but saying you can&apos;t make money at ALL from modding is insane. Like, you can&apos;t even have a Patreon? Wtf?

  Russian modder here, the revenue I used to get from Curseforge wasn&apos;t something I could live on, but still really really solid, comparable to a very good stipend. Well, until 2022 anyway. It was especially great considering it was a passive byproduct of projects I make just for the fun of it. <br><br>Oh well. If I could cash in my Curseforge points now, I could pay for a semester and maybe a couple months of rent. So yeah, it&apos;s actually nothing to sneeze at if you don&apos;t live in a first world country.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGSQWeBbzAg&amp;t=635">10:35</a> The fact that Mojang Developers get paid 100k each year just to add 2 new blocks and 1 unnecessary mob while Modders don&apos;t even get minimum wage for making whole ass dimensions and features is crazy.<br><br> Modders should be appreciated more.
