not everyone likes the alpha reminder

Please add an option to a build available on Curse to DISABLE THIS SPAM. I get you need money, and coding sucks and is time consuming. But why pass that along to your users?
I can understand SP mode, but this is a multiplayer server, where we need Buildcraft as a dependent and its literally disabled otherwise. There is no reason for this. I have removed the emitter in the code, but can't use it on Curse. Ridiculous.
It's just gonna get the axe.
The warning has nothing to do with money at all, it just warns the user that BuildCraft currently is in an alpha state
If you can't deal with an mod in alpha warning you about the alpha status then you probably shouldn't be using it
It sounds like whatever mod has a hard dep on BuildCraft in your pack is either an addon (but then disabling makes no sense) or a mod that is doing dependencies very wrong
Great. So my only choice is: SPAM ALL MY USERS.
Awesome! You leave my no choice but to re-compile it without the trash, and release on CurseForge without source so it can be included in modpacks without spamming users. Congratulations!
Note: this was brought up over a year and a half ago and we were promised the option.
Yes, And I've changed my mind since then.
Also, why would you need to release it without source?
EDIT: Also, regarding coding sucks: if it did, I wouldn't be maintaining BC at all - it's quite fun.
While there is a runtime flag it also enables a bunch of other things so it's not really recommended.
also just FYI, even though the BC licence allows you to recompile without said warning, CurseForge does NOT allow you to upload mods that are already on there by someone else seperatly
releasing without source is also a bad idea as people have no clue what you changed
and you would be making a new mirror that i doubt you'll keep updated forever, just confusing user later down the line why there are multiple and one isn't updated anymore
