Hello! Do you still have the code to some of akkamaddi's old mods that I have not already taken over maintenance of? If so, would you mind if I took over maintenance and ported them up to the current version of Minecraft? I have also been back in contact with akkamaddi--he's on CurseForge, and listed as "former author" for all the akkamaddi's Add-ons that I took over.

Also, are there any of your SimpleOres add-ons that you'd like to see back in circulation? I could take over porting them, if you like.

I am so sorry. I sympathize; my mother died 12 years ago after a slow decline.

I have a lot of your old source code; I don't remember how I got it. My local git repo thinks it's branch 1.7.10. If you want, I can make it a public GitHub repo so you can recover it, or I can just make a tarball and send it to you. I have not made it public because it's not my code and I didn't have permission to do so, nor did I find any kind of license text with your code.
That being said, modern versions of Minecraft-Forge are such a complete rewrite from the 1.7.10 era that about all you'll be able to use are the art assets and the ideas and maybe numbers (i.e. material properties).

I'll look through my code when I get a chance but I don't think I still have akkamaddi's old code.

For my mods I'd love to see the TiC addon updated and I know BiomasterZap asked about the netherrocks addon but the others I don't really know if they are worth saving

I intended to update the TiC addon myself but my free time these days is taken by tacking care of mom. the cancer has spread to her brain :(

I do have the 1.6 code for some of akkamaddi's mods https://www.dropbox.com/s/02ddg2llwwihhvr/akkamaddi.7z?dl=0
