I'm gonna go with, do reference vanilla game files instead of copying them if you are reusing assets. You've got no idea how many times I see people reupload the same sprites and the worst one: shield.shader from the vanilla game so there's 40 versions of the same file amongst mods.

jbox1 DO use .zip files

DO use the built-in mod packager. (Right-click on mod -> Create Mod Package) It's a fool-proof way of making sure you create a .zip that the game can auto-install.

    DON’T constantly hassle YouTubers to use your mods.
    It will just make them hate you.

    jbox1 So true

      DO get other people to test your mod and take a look at your sprites. There may be something in it that missed.

      jbox1 Do you speak of experience?... Haha!

          Namek I speak for someone elses experiences.

              jbox1 Oehhh! Who! Who is being hated by a youtuber? xD

                  jbox1 wait, there was a game going on behind my back? 😐

                    Walt jbox1 Do check if someone made a similar mod before.
                    Nobody wants to be falsely accused.
                    (Unless you do. Then I'm judging you.)
                    Do use proper spelling and grammar.

                        Do NOT make a part a wedge.
                        If the wedge is of an pre-existing shape( e.g. armor wedges) , make the wedge the part.
                        Had some experiences with making a wedge out of a shield in the past...oh the horrors...

                          jbox1 To all modders using Windows Notepad, I pity you.

                          heh.

                          HEH.

                          I used to use Windows Notepad 😛

                              Ultranova D:

                                  jbox1 I have good ole' Notepad++ now

                                    jbox1 DO use version control software (like GitHub) so you can easily manage your versions and so you don't have to reupload and change download links for every update.

                                    Also, add Sublime Text to the text editor part

                                        jbox1 DO plan ahead, the fiirst few parts in my mod were just things I randomly came up with, making it quite messy, using stuff like trello can really help with this.

                                          jbox1 DO add language packs
                                          Because some people have to use Google Translate to use the forums!

                                              FireShredder24 In all due respect, most modders simply don't have the time to add the extra localisation files :/

                                              Ofc, if you are a native speaker in a language, by all means, feel free to add them. Otherwise, it's a LOT of work.
