Shadowing Practice: Modrinth Just BANNED AI Mods - Learn English Speaking with Video

I'm so immensely happy I'm able to make this video today

because ModRymph just rolled out their brand new AI policy alongside with a brand new disclosure system.

And even though most of you will probably already know how I feel about this, let's talk about it.

Do be sure to double check if you're a sub to the channel, I would appreciate it so extremely much.

So it's not a secret that I've been quite critical of ModRymph's AI policy before.

Their AI policy being having absolutely none.

Anything on the entire platform could be AI generated.

The codes, the assets, gallery images, descriptions, everything was allowed to be AI generated.

And this caused a really big problem for the website.

It was slowly filling up with AI slob.

Now I made a video about exactly that here on the channel at the end of last month.

There's a big chance you've seen it.

And in that video I talked about not hating AI overall.

I can see it being very useful as a tool to for example double check your code

or find spelling mistakes in a text.

But when you let AI fully generate everything for you

and you're not able to ensure the quality of whatever thing you've generated, then you get something which we call AI Slop.

Just low quality code that barely functions.

ModRainf had a very big issue with this.

There were users who would literally release more than 10 plugins and mods in a single month, all fully AI generated, with only a single goal in mind,

hoping that one of them would blow up so they could earn themselves a bit of ad revenue.

Literally flooding the website in the hope that something would catch on.

This has definitely caused a lot of frustration among community members, and my breaking point was reached

when I did a live stream here on the channel where we checked out Minecraft plugins

and every single plugin that got served to me was something AI generated that barely functioned.

That is what drove me to make that video in the hope

that ModRinth would finally do something about these low quality AI slop projects.

And exactly that has just happened.

ModRinth introduced brand new AI rules and project disclosures.

So let's go over everything which they changed.

First up we see ModRymph acknowledging here that yes, AI generated content was indeed flooding the platform.

Where project submissions have gone up from 2500 per week to 5000.

That shows how much AI content was being uploaded to the platform.

They never had any quality threshold and they will still not have one.

But they will be more strict when it comes to AI.

These are pretty wise words.

ModRymph is a community of creators.

In order to be a creator you need to actually create something.

And when you generate something with AI, it's not your work.

AI made it.

So there are actually two main things changing.

First up is a brand new TOS update explicitly banning fully AI generated projects.

Over here we got the ModRainf TOS.

We're gonna click on content rules and we're gonna scroll down to the bottom.

And here you can see a brand new rule called usage of generative AI.

Now the first rule explicitly states that you now need to disclose if your project uses AI generated content.

In other words, if a big portion of the code of your project is AI generated,

you will need to add an AI generated content disclosure to your project.

This is what such a disclosure will look like at the bottom of the Matrimf page.

Under the details section, you will now not only see the update and publish date alongside the license, but now over here, you're also able to see disclosures.

For example, the AI generated code disclosure contains AI generated code and text.

Like you can see this is not the only disclosure that they've added.

I'll talk more about that in a little bit.

But this disclosure is now mandatory if your project contains AI generated code.

But ModRainf actually goes one step further.

And this second rule over here completely prohibits some forms of AI generated content.

For example, images.

No images uploaded to the gallery,

icon, description or any other part of the project may be created or derived from generative AI output.

Such images may be removed.

In other words, the era of AI icons that you would find literally everywhere on Mothrampf is finally over.

It is no longer allowed to have an AI icon

or an AI gallery image and even descriptions are not allowed to be fully AI generated.

And then secondly, projects may not be published publicly if the content are primarily or entirely a product of AI outputs.

So what does that mean?

It means that if you use AI just as a tool to write small portions of code

or double check your code or maybe fix your spelling mistakes, that is totally fine.

You only have to disclose that some parts of your project include AI generated content.

But if your project is fully AI generated, like completely, from start to finish,

everything is AI, it is now officially prohibited to be publicly released on ModRymph.

You're no longer allowed to upload those projects to the platform.

Now the second thing that ModRymph has added are, well, the disclosures.

And of course, we've taken a look at this AI content disclosure, but they actually added a bunch more.

So content disclosures are a brand new feature and

while yes there is a contains AI generated content disclosure that is not the only one they added.

There are a bunch more disclosures now which you have to apply to your project if they're applicable.

The other ones are contains advertising so

if your project somehow contains any form of promotion or sponsorship you now need to disclose that.

If your project contains any form of paid features meaning they're features

that can only be obtained by spending IRL money then that now also needs to be disclosed.

There is a disclosure for data collection so

if any data is collected for example by yourself or by a third party then that also needs to be disclosed.

There is a disclosure for derivative content and this is

are forking another project that's of course totally allowed

but you do now need to add this disclosure to your

content to let everyone know hey I am forking a project a substantial part of this project

that I'm making is not mine I'm the one keeping it up to date I'm adding new features

but it is in theory a fork of work

that someone else made and there is now a disclosure for

that there's also a photo sensitivity warning which is a really good thing

and I think it speaks for itself then there is a disclosure for external system interactions for example

if your project reads or edit things on the user's system outside of the game for example

if you have a minecraft plugin that's able to browse your files

while you're in game just a random example then this disclosure would apply to them

because you're browsing your pc in game which is outside of minecraft

so it is doing external system stuff and then there is archive which is the only disclosure that is not new, if your project is archived,

it now shows up in the details section.

And one of the greatest things, in my opinion, that ModRainf has added is the ability to completely turn off AI-generated content for you.

So everybody has to disclose if their project includes AI-generated content or not.

100

With the advanced exclusion filter here, all the way in the bottom left, you can now completely turn off AI-generated content.

101

It is now excluded which means that now I will no longer find projects

102

that have the disclosure that they include AI generated content.

103

They will no longer show up for me in search or just while browsing mods which is amazing.

104

Now to everyone who has a project on ModRymph.

105

There is a grace period of 45 days.

106

Which basically means

107

that ModRinth is giving you 45 days to set your disclosures correctly before they're gonna start enforcing these new rules.

108

So you have until September 27 of this year to set up your disclosures correctly, to follow the new AI policy rules,

109

and only after that they are gonna actually enforce it.

110

So you have some time to get everything sorted out.

111

Now in my personal opinion, this is an absolute W you.

112

I made that AI slop video for a reason.

113

Modrimf was becoming close to unusable

114

because of all of the spam projects on the website

115

which was just simply taking my joy out of browsing Modrimf and finding new cool projects.

116

And it is such a huge shame because it is an incredible website and you guys know I love Modrimf.

117

I've loved Modrimf since the start.

118

I've used their platform for many years and I intend to continue doing that.

119

This AI slop was just really ruining the experience for me

120

and many others and I'm so immensely glad Modrind is finally doing something against it.

121

I have absolutely no clue by the way

122

if my video had any influence when it comes to Modrind deciding to make an AI policy.

123

I made that video and now three weeks later they have made rules against AI.

124

I personally think this is something

125

that has been in the works for a long time but I guess we will never know.

126

Now something which is interesting to mention is

127

that I was doing a live stream while ModRimf dropped this new AI policy news.

128

You guys were the ones informing me of all of this in

129

that stream's live chat and during

130

that stream a creator of a big AI generated mod on ModRimf joined my chat and shared their opinion.

131

They were obviously not happy with this policy

132

because even though their project w waypoints is fully ai generated

133

from start to finish it seems to be a working project

134

and why do i say it seems to be well it has almost 700 000 downloads

135

which is a lot of downloads that shows that the project likely works

136

and a lot of people are actively using it but

137

because it is fully ai generated not just partly

138

but fully under this new policy it is now officially no longer allowed on mod rymph.

139

So in the process of mod rymph banning AI slop they're also getting some big mods caught in the crossfire.

140

Because fully AI generated content is not allowed most AI slop is fully AI generated

141

but some well-working mods like this one at least I suppose it is otherwise why would it have

142

so many downloads this one will also be banned in 45 days.

143

With that said I can still fully see why ModRAMF decided to take this route

144

because yes even though this is likely a great working mod

145

that is fully AI generated like ModRAMF said in the intro

146

of their announcement for you to actually be a creator you need to actually create something.

147

If you let AI create something you didn't create it.

148

That seems to be ModRAMF's official stance.

149

They want you to make something and they don't want AI to just generate a whole thing for you.

150

So even though this is a popular mod and it is generally working well, Modrimf's stance seems to be it is still not your mod, you did not make it yourself,

151

you're not the creator, the AI is the creator and therefore we will no longer allow it on our platform.

152

Now I would absolutely love to know your opinion about all of this.

153

What do you think about this new AI policy?

154

What do you think about these new disclosures?

155

Do you think Modrimf done a great job by fully banning completely AI generated content

156

or do you have some other thoughts that you want to share?

157

Whatever you have to share do leave it in the comments down below

158

and with that being said that is gonna be it for today.

159

Do make sure to sub to the channel, join my discord, thank you so much channel members and then I will see you in the next one.

160

Bye bye!

161

See you later!

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
