Missing the voluntary contributors.

As Minecraft developed over the years, at least the last ten years of which I've been a part, I've seen so many individuals develop much needed modules like MovingWorld, flying and motion objects such as windmills and ships, and textures like SteamPunk to provide great imaginary images to inspire both building and battle.

It is a shame that legal threats,technical secrecy, and lack of public API/SDK licensing has pretty much ended innovation  by public and private contributors. Mush of the the joy of playing/creation within the game no longer exists. The most popular mods have been abandoned with the official MC developers ignoring the most popular modifications/features/textures.

After building a single world in single player survival mode hoping for an eventual public multiplayer release, I feel cheated. Is there any way to recover what has been lost? Maybe recognize and award those developers who have contributed so much to the game over the years.

  Developers of free mods and resourcepacks go into it knowing there will be no reward for their efforts, except the satisfaction of creating something, and the possibility of community acceptance of their work. To track them down would be difficult, error-prone, and could potentially open up legal problems.

  But to encourage development, something like https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360009553351-Mod-library-workshop could give a place for people to put something they create and get credit for it, in a way officially supported by Minecraft.
