As an addon though, most people would get that since it's an addon it would make sense to use the mechanics. A submod could hardly change enough to make the mod representing a completely different world. The submod had to change every part of the mod that references a mod resource, for example the world map, the dimension name "Middle Earth", and speeches.

That would be the idea. Although it will be similar, the basic mechanics of factions, trading, the "world map" ect. the layout and the 'feel' of it would be much different. Don't call it a submod though... Well, unless you really want to. Like Mevans not wanting to update to 1.8, you'd not want to also at points. Decompile the code by all means, but don't turn this into a submod.
