Mincraft is not open source. There's way too much entitlement in this post. "How dare you make it hard for me to not profit off of your success."

It's very clear in the terms of service that you cannot make money from Minecraft mods and that only Mojang is allowed to make money from the game. It has always been this way. It's been in the press many times and anyone wanting to make money from Minecraft should know this. Making money from the success of someone else's project should always involve a bit of research.

The ways that people have made money from Minecraft is by providing hosting and by streaming themselves playing Minecraft and making let's play videos. Another way is to host your Minecraft mod on adfly and make ad money from the downloads page. That's pretty much it.

They should have known this beforehand. I knew it and I don't make mods for Minecraft.
