I can't believe I never noticed this before

[ChrysWhyte]

So basically: http://www.mod-buildcraft.com/documentation/

Spacetoad (assumption) was trying to SELL copies of documentation for 2.x.x

I dunno if anyone else was aware of this. The link seems to be dead now. Still gave me a chuckle.

Worth a try right?

Didnt flowerchild try this? Or im I dreaming about MC again?

Oh, and BTW the link isnt dead:

I'm 100% sure that selling a mod is illegal according to the, albeit vague, Minecraft TOS. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Back when I was a simpleton I bought said documentation. Since then I have grown to hate all high-and-mighty mod makers.

He's not selling the mod, he's just selling the instructions on how to use the mod.

[cmwatford]

I actually bought this back when I was a noob to the pack.

At least it was cheap.

...

Are you kidding me? That's... that's just plain pants-on-head-retarded.

[The Merchant of Menace]

Nope, back when he first started selling it, the Buildcraft Handbook was the only source of information on how to actually play with Buildcraft.

I took it as more of a way to get something in return for supporting the mod author, since between Spacetoad and Direwolf20 there were plenty of videos showing how things worked.

I agree with this point of view. I'm not saying I approve: I don't, and it was very annoying to be able to find no good information at all before I learned how to decompile things. What I do approve of, in theory, is charging for non-essentials as a form of voluntary donation. (This is how games like League of Legends stay profitable, by selling things that nobody needs but many want.)

[hoho]

Oh' date=' and BTW the link isnt dead:[/quote']Link is alive but information there is so hopelessly outdated it's borderline hilarious that someone expects people to buy it

[volbia]

Personally I'd buy it for a chuckle if the thing was updated

Hm Instruction, novel idea. Might just save hours and hours of board trolling for answers. You youngin's might not remember this but there was a time when most things came with instructions. We saved so much time we could wright codes and things on our video adding boxes that eventually became videogames. ;)

The silly part about it was that the documentation was absolutely terrible and useless. I don't have any problem with it at all, but seriously. He could have at least tried to make it worth it. It seriously isn't worth free.
