I dont see how it really matters, modders can mod and have the capability to do so and terraria knows that. Didnt say if i would post it or not, but it is still under construction and only for myself or friends at this stage.
All content should be avaliable anyway. If they didnt want there sprites stolen or used they shouldnt upload them to the internet on the wiki, to be easily accessed and shouldnt allow modding. It is possible to pass copyrights, by one the sprites actually have to be edited and changed due to the sizes of the sprites on phone wiki, so the sprites are actually different in the end although not the same, so its basically inspiration from the mobile game, although things have been changed to pass the laws.
Theres other points but its hard to explain, but if i was ever to say release mobile inspired game content, it would be different enough if that would help ?
Question because im unsure - Can mobile/console inspired mods be released if the sprites are modified or if naming conventions have been changed ? What would need to be done to include such exclusives to the pc game as a mod ? Such as the modification of sprites so they are not original ?, the changing of the names slightly to change what they actually are presented as ? or even the following up of referencing the developers and or in gereral the companies which maybe involved ?
