Yes, of course, there are a lot of people downloading this mod because they want an (at least somewhat) immersive experience. I'm not confident that those players are representative of the majority. Personally, i've set up a mod pack with this mod and roughly 20 other mods (and supporting mods). What i'm looking for isn't the "pure" experience you may be describing. It's just fun. This mod *is* fun. I don't think i'm a bad person for wanting to maximize my fun, which may mean adding other mods. I think I should be able to choose what mods I think are fun rather than having to rely on the mod creator to decide that for me. That's the nature of mods - they let me choose my game experience.

That said, I have no complaints at all if the mod maker doesn't update for the newest version. They are providing a product for free which I enjoy. I *would* like it if it were updated to the newest version of mincraft, because that would be more convenient for me. But it's only a request, not a demand. I understand that updating would be a massive undertaking. While I am not a coder, I have a vague idea about the amount of work it would entail. I *suggest* upgrading the mod to work on newer versions of minecraft because I think there are other users like me, who want to use it with other mods included. I don't make light of the amount of work that would take. I imagine the author does this as a labor of love, and as he has said, it wouldn't be much fun at all. I just wanted to lay out my thoughts as a user.
