Minecraft mod commissions

I build custom Minecraft mods and datapacks, especially for streamers: Twitch chat integration, viewer-controlled gameplay and custom minigames. I've also delivered private client commissions.

Message me on Discord (brainage04) or email thomasmcmah21@gmail.com with what you have in mind.

Extras

Mod loaders
Fabric and NeoForgeincluded
One mod loader only−10%
Each additional mod loader+15%
Minecraft versions
Each additional minor version (e.g. 1.21.1 alongside 1.21.4)+5%
Each additional major version (e.g. 1.20 alongside 1.21)+20%
Every minor version of one major version (e.g. all of 1.21.x)+20%
Rush jobs
Delivered in under half the timeline I would normally quote+25%

These are starting points and I'm happy to negotiate. Version prices especially depend on how much the game's code changed between versions, not on the version number: some major updates mostly add content, while some minor ones rework the internals.

How it works

  • Fixed quote after a short call or chat about what you need. I'll then draft a requirements document and a contract for you to sign before work starts.
  • 50% up front, the rest at delivery. Larger projects are split into milestones.
  • Three rounds of changes included. Anything outside the agreed scope is quoted separately.
  • Every delivery comes with automated in-game end-to-end (e2e) tests and recordings of all features working.
  • Most familiar with Fabric and NeoForge from 1.20 to 26.3, plus Forge 1.8.9, but open to any mod loader on any version.
