pgpm By adding mods as official releases, you would be forcing other people to play the game in a way that they might not like to.

this ^^

I'm exciting at the bukkit team being hired by mojang - it shows that further mods are likely to be more compatible, more resilient, and possibly have more features.

Each update breaks so much on each server - which is unfortunate. I hope that a stable mod framework will really help to stabilize this.

and really... a lot of mods that make minecraft into a different game (like Skyrim in minecraft or Terraria in minecraft) are more the modders showing of their coding skills than really trying to add functionality to the game. That's what a lot of the mods are. "Ok, this is fun, but I can make it do THIS!"

This is actually quite a neat idea for gaming companies to use... what a fantastic way to find new, imaginative coders. If Bethesda and Mojang DON'T hire excellent modders, they're not thinking straight. (And Mojang DOES... they hired the team who designed the Bukkit system for multiplayer to help them develop and tweak SMP.)

Its easy as hell to do, all your doing is copying files, thats it.

Also, mojang cant add everything to the game, or add everything by themselves, not everyone wants what the mods offer, some do, this is why they are working on official mod support.

some are fun because you can add new abilities to the player and make the game more interesting it's just about the patience they have for something new to be added

It's nice to know and kind of cool that villagers started as mods! I do think mods are neat for you people that think i hate them. They just need mod loader and winrar and could crash you minecraft. Maybe one day i'll try a mod....maybe

Mods are a way to enhance/tweak the game to a person's liking. I personally think it's better to have mods available as downloadable, community-created content rather than incorporating even the most popular into the game as it allows players to create a unique gaming experience which suits their personal likes and make the game more fun for them to play. By adding mods as official releases, you would be forcing other people to play the game in a way that they might not like to.

mods add new things every server has one mod even though you dont know its there for example on a server i used to go on when i went on my inventoy and pressed o too many items came up.

You should wait for 1.3 because I think Mojang is going to make installing mods as easy as clicking a button.

Fokkusu, I just realized your avatar moves.
Anyways, Mods are not always implememented into the game for a multitude of reasons that have already been explained. And some mods just wouldn't be able to be easily implemented.

It was an example. Hurrrrrr

if you want skyrim play skyrim not minecraft!

Because they make the game, the community make sit better, for example Bethesda, they released the modding tools for Skyrim.

[quote="death123438"]Why use mods when minecraft SHOULD add a FEW of the resonable mods to the game i don't use mods because you need winrar that and winrar this and mod loader this and yadada!!! I really want to try tale of kingdoms without my minecraft crashing
so i think Tale of kingdoms should be a new game mode! (survival,creative,hardcore)
I know mods are privately made but it was just a little idea that i had. If you agree, post back.[*not mine]
ok I agree. because of 1 good reason which is my computer mite crash if I download one
mode [*mine]

some of the older mods HAVE been incorporated into the game (baby animals, villagers, etc.) It just seems to take Mojang FOREVER to do it. (And they also seem to have a problem making the mods as good as the original ones.....) Those of us with no patience use mods to make the game more interesting when we start to get bored with regular play.
