The minecraft modding scene is horrific. Forum posts as homepages, adfly for file hosting, closed source mods whose maintainers are hostile to feedback, compatibility issues between everything...

... and yet somehow it WORKS, and probably provides kids with a better introduction to having to hack with computer technology than anything most kids have had to deal with since having to edit HIMEM in your autoexec.bat to get a soundblaster to work with Doom was a thing.

Actually, most mods are not closed source anymore and most modders moved to CurseForge over adf.ly (which is not perfect, I admit, but much better). This is not 2012.
