Honestly, don't offer a project as open source if you're so keen on maintaining an iron grip on it.
The code will be all open, but the artwork and
the experience as you experience it on my server are mine, and mine to dictate. If you hate how it looks on my server, you can either work collaboratively to change it and improve it, or you can
go run your own server and create your own experience.
Offering texture packs that change MY artistic vision for players on MY server without even telling me in advance is in my opinion a hostile act, and I'm dismayed I learn this through a casual forum thread where it's mentioned sideways, especially when the person doing so certainly knows where I can be reached for feedback and collaboration.
It's like I made a movie but you're showing it in your movie theater with Jar-Jar binks removed and replaced by Kirby, and not telling viewers that the original is the way the author intended it. Why is it so shocking that I'm repulsed by that?
