@Chuckleberry Finn Oh, I hadn’t noticed the right-click tooltip—good to know, thanks! My suggestion was more about having an option to keep it hidden across sessions—like a mod setting to hide and persist that state, so it doesn’t reappear unless intentionally restored. That way, it avoids hiding forever by mistake and provides an advanced way to let picky users like me control what's shown in the UI.

You can right click the arrow to hide it entirely (although this isn't persistent). It only (or should only) show up in menus not in-game.

Hi! Thank you for your time and effort in making mods like this. I have a quick piece of feedback:

Since I only have this mod installed as a dependency and don’t use it directly, the persistent changelog panel feels a bit intrusive—especially when no related mods have changed in months.

Personally, I prefer checking changelogs on the Workshop page only for mods I actively use. Having this panel always visible in-game doesn’t add value in my case. It would be great if there were an option to hide it completely and persistently (not just collapse).

I understand this is a matter of preference, but I believe it would help keep the UI cleaner for users like me. Thanks for considering it!

No?

Is this mod bugged now?

Were there any type of errors or warnings? Did you both confirm the server and players involved were up to date?

me and mike oxlong spent 5 hours (skill issue tbh on his part lazy ass didnt help) tying to load a server with other mods. this one kept it hung up and either needs to be disabled or fixed i dunno

Tried to host a multiplayer server but this mod has up stuck on initialising for like an hour

Thank you! :)

For those having issues, I don't mind putting in the work to fix issues, but I'd need more effort put in reporting the issues. Logs, errors, more details.

@Chuckleberry Finn, just tested the mod with 130 mods active on the latest patch(42.7), i dont have any issues or bugs, as per usual/expected.

Just wanted to give you more feedback, since 90% of the times, as you already know, majority of the issues are made by their users and not the opposite.

Keep the awesome work as always.

Cheers.

I don't have issues fast forwarding, I also don't have any issues utilizing my other mods.

Are there any errors? Which mods?

cant fast forward or open the options tab with ur mods enabled

Yes, please provide the error. Thank you.

I just updated to 42.7.0. and this mod is giving me crashes, I went thru all my mods list and this is the one. I can just uninstall this mod, but the problem is that if I do that, I wont be able to use skill recovery journal mod, could You help me?

Forget what I said, I just noticed that each mod update has links to the mod authors kofi, patron etc. Sorry!

Ah if you mean the message from myself, that always appears after new alerts and isn't related/modifiable, the alerts per mod are modifiable by the mod authors.

I understand your concerns though, the message should be more general and not have my Kofi link. 👍

Please excuse my scepticism and thanks for your work and for responding!

Ah okay, I already saw other modders use this, but only for mod updates, not for general messages. And your non-mod message being on the right made me think it is pinned there. If that isn't the case, this mod is great. I'm not into modding so I won't be able to check this.

I was worried you were trying to make other modders dependent on you with you being the only one who can post messages that aren't mod related. Cool to see this tool is used as intended and everyone is behaving disciplined and not suffering from MC syndrome, because creating messages in the main menu of many player is some power that some morons would definitely abuse for private conflicts, political messages, scams, spamming etc.

Anyone can utilize this mod's features. The process would be to include link information in the change logs file.

Examples are included in the mod, and a few modders have already used it.

The video in the description features Spongie's character customization as an example.

Thank you for the question.

a) your mods are awesome and I like them a lot,
b) Since you say this mod is just to "provide update info and links for any mod that uses it, not just mine. It’s designed to streamline communication, make support easier, and reduce confusion when mods update or change.", I would like to ask if every mod author that uses your mod is able to insert things like non-mod related messages where they ask for donations? Or is that something only you can do?

The mod you're referring to provides update info and links for any mod that uses it, not just mine. It’s designed to streamline communication, make support easier, and reduce confusion when mods update or change.

I get that it might not seem useful to you personally, but it serves a purpose across all my mods. And while I appreciate Ko-fi support, it doesn't come with custom versions of mods.

I don't see how my honest confusion at why an advert mod is a required dependency for your other admittedly excellent mods intentionally obtuse but pop off king. If I donate to your kofi can I have a version of the mods that don't have this as a dependency? You know, since the purpose of this mod was already fullfilled for me.

Pot. Kettle. Thank you.

how intentionally obtuse of you lmao

It's optional as all mods are.

no idea why this isnt optional tbh, doesnt add literally anything to my experience yet I must have it.

@BD cool

looking into each subbed mod to look for breaks after .4 update, seeing how ppl complain about optional support possiblities while absolute having no problem in enjoying the mod itself is a special kind of shitty-people-behaviour....

@author ignore these folks, the broad (and silent) majority is enjoying ans apreciating your effort and the resulting fruits

Also, thank you to all the people who've supported in the past for your appreciation and patience at times. 🙏🏻

Thank you both very much!

Honestly its pretty fair considering how many mods I had that i didn't even notice you made because they have been cornerstones of my playlists for a while. Modding takes time, having modded for other games it can take a lot of effort that is just never really given back in any way (not that its mandatory too, but life doesn't just run on appreciation).

Love what you have done, I hope you still have the time to mod going forward and don't take these chucklefucks too seriously. You have done great work and if I was in a position where I had any spare money i'd gladly toss some your way as a dono.

Keep fighting the good fight brother.

lol I just came down here to see if there were any noteworthy issues ppl have w this mod just to see that we apparently are mad at modders for wanting to remind people that we don't pay them to do this and maybe we could. that's diabolical, please do better and get mad at big corporations for over-advertising and not our hardworking modders. that's just so mean-spirited and not everyone is mad at modders for linking their ko-fi or patreon everywhere! in fact I'm personally happy to see it and I hope it helps them get paid more!! please be kind and understanding that everyone wants to support themselves with the hard work they put out into the world. idk idk. this just made me so sad and I didnt even read the entire thread lol. thank you for your hard work author-nim. I think an alert system like this is extremely helpful for someone who doesnt want to keep track of updates manually

I’ve thought about it

Criticism is welcome, but I don’t have to tolerate mischaracterizing and being rude under the guise of ‘just sharing my opinion’. Nor tolerate getting upset when comments are removed or I fire back unkindly.

I’ve shared my perspective, considered concerns, weighed options, if I don’t agree 100% - telling me ‘nu-uh, you’re wrong, and here's why’ over and over isn’t going anywhere.

I understand not liking to be “forced” to have this mod, and I’m sorry but this is a mild inconvenience. The existence of an “advertisement” or “pop up” can rub people the wrong way- but to this degree? To get this worked up over it?

The accessibility and exposure to changelogs and support links make this requirement valid in my view. If you disagree and stop using my mods, that’s fair. But insisting I change it, and that there are no other possible solutions, and no means of compromise, all I can say is:

Well, that’s weird.

Out of respect for "stand tall with your convictions amongst all the criticism without deleting any of it. If you're going to be the bitch, be the whole bitch." 💅

I won't be moderating this comment section.

as telos once said "the more i tighten my grip on your dick, the harder you will bust"

As Princess Leia once said "The more you tighten your grip Chuck, the more donations will slip through your fingers"

If you want this mod to be noticed, just advertise it on your other mod pages as the "Handy dandy, keep up to date on the latest patch notes".

It may also be against the terms and service of Indiestone to inject Kofi links onto the main screen.
Something to consider.

Making this mod optional is literally the only compromise that you'd need to make.
I would however strongly suggest removing the Kofi link from the main menu as well.
You have your Kofi link in all your mod descriptions on the workshop. People already know where to come to donate to you.

Basically the more "in your face" you make it for people, the more pushback you're going to receive.

I've gotten a few ideas through these discussions, but based on the "make it optional" caveat, I'm not sure further changes would be enough of a compromise for the most staunch folks.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Would have been a great twist if it were just a big misunderstanding.

As for moderating, I've probably been nuking things too cautiously - but things like that can be a build up. People will come off the handle swinging, then cool off after, and it's kind of tiring seeing who is sharing their viewpoint and who is angling to impose their opinion.

"I've also weighed my options, and I think this is probably the best course." I understand, but I completely disagree. I would appreciate it if you gave my comments some thought and stay open to the idea of another option in the future, but either way best of luck on your modding endeavors. I've said it before, but you really do so much for this community, thank you.

Thank you, I appreciate it. You do a good job articulating your position and I'm glad you are willing to discuss this, a lot of other people would have ignored the criticism entirely.

I personally don't believe its good to delete those sorts of things. I feel that should be reserved for actually harmful comments. It hides the true amount of people who disagree, and even though I doubt that's the goal, I think it is an inherently bad thing to do.

I think the part you are referring to I meant seeing this mod in particular. You mentioned before that one of the reasons you keep it as a dependency is that you don't think the people who would like this mod would see/find it if it wasn't a dependency.

*And by "appreciate", I mean that this would potentially lead towards a donation.
The average user isn't going to be donating.

I've installed it and seen the Kofi link myself. It's an advertisement.
You've been told this multiple times. What about this concept are you struggling with?

Look, think about this from another angle.
Who are the people who are most likely to be interested in your patch notes?
Server admins.
Who is more likely to appreciate the hard work you've put in to your mods?
Server admins.

The average Joe isn't going to be care or be looking for patch notes, nor are they going to appreciate the hard work you've put it.

So at the end of the day you're only pissing off the people who have been your supporters.

Honestly, just remove the dependency for this mod from your other mods and let people CHOOSE.
Then ALL THIS dialogue fades away.

You are your own worst enemy in this Chuck.

Not to mention a lot of the back and forth has been over semantics.

Also, just to clarify, what do you mean about seeing mods? The alerts only show changelogs for activated mods. It doesn't show mods that aren't active or aren't installed. Not sure if that you've assumed based on others comments about it being "advertisement" when it's not.

Sorry for expecting the worst Maj, that was well written. And, not to repeat myself, I understand why it may rub people the wrong way. I've also weighed my options, and I think this is probably the best course. Otherwise, I'd have removed the requirement a long time ago with some of these comments.

And no, it's not being "a little mean", a lot of people don't argue in good faith or slide in subtle to not subtle jabs. If their comment is just reiterating what someone else said, but in a more smarmy tone - I'm going to delete it.

my bad haha, wanted to respond to everything

Oh boy, an entire page of comments awaiting analysis.
