  • Should "Carpet-Mod without /player" be added? 5

    1. YES! (3) 60%
    2. No (please comment your reason) (2) 40%

    (I know this is kind of a duplicate thread but the others were closed with no explanation)

    First you didn't accept the carpet mod which is fair enough because one of its many functions is to create fake players, which lets you keep the server open 24/7. That is fair enough to not allow that mod.

    Then someone went out of their way to make a fork of the carpet mod to remove the /player command. So there is now no reason to not accept this modified version of the carpet mod.


    but then, it seems you just really hate this mod for no reason so you create the error 'We do not add mods that are made specifically made for Aternos' on the suggest a mod page. afaik this does not appear on any other mod and Not adding specific aternos mods is not listed on the page that lists the requirements of mods that are allowed to be added.

    But why don't you allow mods made specifically for aternos?? surely that just means they are a better fit for aternos?

    :cursing:

    I wont mind if you actually give a reason for why you wont accept this mod!


    Carpet is a very useful mod and it is a shame to not be able to use it. Personally I am switching server hosting until this is fixed.

  • Because making fake players will keep the server 24/7 and keeping a server 24/7 will either crash your server or something else bad happens. Just face it, Aternos is not 24/7 and it will never be, because it is a FREE minecraft hosting that supports cracked minecraft so that means if they made it 24/7 then that would be too much because how can they keep up a server that much of space without making any money? That is why Aternos made a paid minecraft hosting Exaroton https://exaroton.com/:en/
    so my answer is
    Are they going to add carpet mod? No

    so if you want your server to be 24/7 I consider you use Exoroton

  • The mod's page itself says enough. This is why you always use your eyes to look before coming here.

    There is good news and bad news. The good news is we hit 1000 downloads a while ago. The bad news is, that after submitting it for being added, it got rejected, because Aternos cant accept mods that are specifically made for it. Afteg finally getting to talk to an Aternos staff I got a reason for it. Thats where the bad news starts. What the staff member said was, that they cant accept mods specifically made for Aternos, because there its most likely that someone is trying to cheat their system. I then told them about the source code. Then the staff member said they couldnt check a mods source code every update. Which is of course a very good and legitamed reason. And tbh we dont have another choice than accepting it. So it is not going to be added. Thats why I will archive the GitHub repository and the curseforge project. I also of course wont make newer versions, since it is absolutely pointless. I cant tell what will happen to the discord server, but I dont think there is a real point in letting it persist. Not sure about that tho. A huge thank you for all of your support! And no hate to any kind of Aternos member!
