Seriously, where do I begin? They're legal, they aren't legal, they cost money, yadda yadda yadda.....
Look. The way I see it, mod makers for Minecraft on PC didn't get paid money. Why would they want money making mods at 4J? Even if they did want money, maybe like 1000 bucks a mod (The sales and records Minecraft is surpassing nowadays, 4J is wiping their asses with 100 dollar bills embedded with diamonds) they could just do that.
So they made the mod, got the money, everybodys happy. All thats left is the sale of the mod.
If 4J had balls, integrity, and really cared about fans, this would be free. Why? Because like I said, they are freaking loaded with money. Or, if they felt they really needed a profit, the highest they would most likely charge would be maybe 80-160 points.
Ok, now 1000 bucks for a mod is much too high, I change my mind.
100 bucks, hell I don't know, ranging around 100 to 500.
Keep in mind mod makers on PC DID NOT GET PAID.
If you were to buy a couple skin packs and like 4 mods, it would only be around 10 bucks.
And then theres the part that people complain about saying "mods are illegal on xbox"
The solution? Call them DLCs.
Then theres the annoying guys that say "PC is much better, we don't have to pay for mods"
Oh really? We are barely even paying for mods, we are paying for a better expeience.
4J will be working with mod makers. This will make the mods more core to minecraft,
there will not be alot of bugs and glitches than mods on the PC.
I'm not an expert on this type of thing, but I am aware of most issues like modding being illegal and
people saying paying for mods is ridiculous. If I had said something in this topic that you know is wrong,
please correct me. I would like to be more informed on this subject. I'm not going to get into arguements
with anyone, so please politely explain where I went wrong, any info helps.
First, the mod makers do sorta get money. I'm sure some people actually hit the donate button most of them have on their web pages. Second, its not illegal for 4J to just outright steal them anyway. They MIGHT have to get clearance with MS and Mojang first, but the mod makers are owed nothing in this exchange. Mojang did not release the code for free public use in terms of making profit from minecraft. The reason that PC mods are free is simply because it would be illegal for the mod makers to sell it without first getting rights for such a thing granted to them by Mojang. This did not happen
Third, its important for clarity that you understand the difference between the word "mods" as used in the PCMC and the XBOX360MC. Mods on the PC are just additions or alterations to the game code. Sorta like expansions, kinda. On the xbox modding is actually tinkering with the xbox hardware or software to allow changes to a game and its code. The second one is not allowed in any way. If PC mods were to be brought here, they would not be mods as we know them but actual physical changes to the core game code in a permanent way. That isn't to say you'd have to play with them..so to speak. But that the option to would be built into the game engine itself, rather than, as the PC does it, a change to said engine to allow it.
Now, the reason we will have to pay for mods is pretty simple. First, 4J will have to convert them into C programming for use on the xbox. Second, MS charges a fee anytime content is added to their servers for download. They were kind enough to allow 4J several "free" updates to allow them to get the game released and then get it up to PCMC's version. Those free updates won't be for extra stuff like textures and mods and skins. So, 4J will have to offset that initial loss of paying someone to port the code, and then offset the cost of paying MS to upload it for us to use.
That doesn't mean we ever will see these things. But I hope I cleared up any confusion you might have been having over the deal. Granted, I may not be 100% on everything. There may be other factors as well. But I know that the things I've told you about have been true in the past and should, by rights, be true now.

4J has never been the issue. From everything we've seen, 4J appears to have all the integrity in the world, and their closeness with the community on these boards has been unparalleled. We're very lucky to have them. The reason you'd be paying for mods as DLC is Microsoft. I'll leave out my opinion on their integrity, but let's just say many probably share the view.
As far as I see it, mods as DLC are possible, and I'd pay for them in a heartbeat.

I was not aware that part of the issue had to deal with Microsoft, thanks for telling me that.
I really hope we see DLCs in the future, the fans would seriously get a kick out of it.

You are playing a game on the Microsoft Xbox 360. Everything and anything that happens goes through them first and they have the final say on all things.
I also extremely doubt that 4J will be using PC mods for anything other than inspiration for their own DLC creations. They've made a few posts asking for what people would like to see as DLC and where they should take inspiration from.

Thank you for reading this
1.The mod makers get money/donation .
2.Mods are possible since 4j said so.
3.Why wouldnt mod makers want some money out of this.
4. 4j is not just a a** if they wouldnt care what the people says they wouldnt get skins updates or mods to the game, they want money after such a hard work so shut up take urself to their places its not so easy to be modelling and scripting. Skins are free in pc? its free because people made it, if people wouldnt make it mojang would made it WİTH money.

We've gotten, and will continue to get, free mods for the xbox!
They just call them "updates".
