Stop using MCPEDL
Discussion
With the many issues it has, why does anyone still use it?

A mediocre blogpost from February. Read with embarrasment.

MCPEDL is 10 years old.

Starting in 2014, MCPEDL is by far the most popular 3rd-party hosting service for community-created content. (Minecraft Marketplace is.... gross.)

Back in January, I helped port Pridepack, a semi-popular resource pack to the Bedrock Edition of the game. When discussing where to release it, our minds instantly went to MCPEDL. Then we realised why: it was the only option.

After release, we were quite surprised to see the comments. As of February, Modrinth does not support comments on projects, and this showed me why.

A comment from MCPEDL repeatedly reading 'Oh cool thanks for releasing proud to be trash pack', followed by the red sweating emoji

The above image is one of the many comments you can find on the page, which made us realise that MCPEDL has no useful kind of moderation.


2021, Overwolf acquisition

In the modding community, Overwolf has a reputation of not exactly doing great when it comes to moderation. In this case, they just don't and won't care about the clearly-intended-to-hard comments that have been reported.

Don't support sites that don't put the effort into keeping their users and creators safe.
