OK. Since I learned about making a custom modpack, I've had a dream server idea. It would be a total war server, with factions, Flan's World War 2, and the Zeppelin mod. One problem: I'm too chicken.
What scares me the most is the idea of using the Minecraft.jar. I don't think the whole renaming it to "Modpack.jar" cuts it. I quote William Shakespeare, "What's in a name?". The "One Big Rule" says you can't redistribute ANYTHING Mojang has made. Mods? Yes. Minecraft? No. What I'm getting at is asking if there is a way to make my modpack download the minecraft.jar from Minecraft.net and not do anyhting illegal. Help...?
