Faithful Add-on Rules

Thank you for your interest in submitting an add-on to the Faithful website! However, before you hit submit, we have a few ground rules to make sure every add-on upholds our standards to be officially listed.

INFO

Add-on reviewers may correct spelling errors or other small mistakes during the review process. If you find any mistake after the add-on has been approved, you can resubmit it with a note describing what you fixed.

1. Use the Latest Faithful Textures

While add-ons with somewhat outdated textures are generally fine, if a texture inconsistency or issue is particularly noticeable in-game, it may be archived until the add-on is updated.

2. Upload Accurate Images

Don’t use any packs other than the relevant Faithful resource pack(s) with your add-on applied while taking screenshots, and update your images if your add-on substantially changes.

Make sure your images are correctly formatted!

Add-on header images and screenshots must be 16:9 lossy JPEGs to be accepted. You can compress images for free using https://compressor.io.

3. Try to Follow Texturing Guidelines

While texture quality isn't enforced as strictly as it is with the main packs, extremely low-quality textures or work that feels completely inconsistent with Faithful's art direction may be denied.

Packs without guidelines will be judged case-by-case based on existing textures.

4. Write Descriptive Titles

If you forget to do any of these below things, nothing bad will happen, but keep it in mind so add-on reviewers don't have to fix or deny every add-on.

• Use correct spelling and capitalization. All Faithful add-on titles should use Title Case.
• Be specific. Avoid using words like "Better" that say nothing about what the add-on actually does.
• Don't use "Faithful" or pack names directly in titles. It’s already obvious that your pack is made for Faithful, since you're literally downloading it from the Faithful website, plus the specific packs and editions your add-on is tagged with are shown directly next to its title.

5. Prefer Detailed Descriptions

Make it clear what your add-on changes or updates, and provide any additional contextual information like what versions the pack is intended for, credits to any reference material.

More is better than less!

6. Avoid NSFW Content

Add-ons featuring pornography, over-the-top gore, and other questionable content won't be listed on the Faithful website. Pretty self-explanatory.

7. Comply With Our License

TIP

You can always find our license at https://faithfulpack.net/license or by running /license in any of our Discord servers.

Credit Faithful and link back to https://faithfulpack.net when listing your pack anywhere except the Faithful website. The same caveats involving CurseForge and Modrinth reward points apply to add-ons depending on how much of its work is your own (e.g. a complete item set overhaul from scratch vs a simple armor recolor).

8. Don't Duplicate Existing Add-ons

If you want to update an existing add-on, contact its creator. If they don’t respond within a reasonable timeframe, contact an add-on reviewer for permission to edit the existing add-on.

If you want to make an add-on with the same purpose as an existing one but done in a different way, use a different title and make it clear what the difference is.

9. Use Direct Downloads

Ideally, clicking a download button should directly download the add-on file, but linking to either listing sites (CurseForge, Modrinth, Planet Minecraft, etc.) or download hosting providers (MediaFire, Mega, etc.) is also allowed. Monetized link shorteners aren't allowed under any circumstances.

10. Package Add-ons Correctly

Users shouldn't be required to unzip the pack and fiddle with the folders to get your add-on working. Please ensure that your zip works in-game!
