Tbh i don't get why fork the mod instead of asking for the setting. I don't mind it tho, one less mod on my list.
If you wanna take over I could mark mine as deprecated and link to this one instead.
If you want you can just copy the changes to your mod :)
I am mainly doing Forks for Private Modpacks and just release them so i dont have to send .zip files to every one of my friends
(If the License allows it e.g. MIT / GNU GPLv3)
So feel free to "steal" some code :)
I can mark mine as deprecated if you apply the changes
