The plan for mods                        
After some internal discussion and general anxiety, we've arrived at a
plan for supporting mods. It's still a bit vague and the details might
change after we've run it by our lawyers, but here's what we want to
do:

* Let players sign up as 「mod developers」. This will cost money (edit: no longer costs money!), and
will require you agreeing to a license deal (you only need one per
mod team).
* Mod developers can download the source code from our SVN repository.
As soon as we commit a change, it will be available to all mod
developers, unobfuscated and uncensored.

已註冊的 mod 作者可以在官方提供 SVN 資料庫下載源碼，當我們源碼有改動時，

也可以在此得到更新。

* Mod developers get a unique certificate for signing their mods. This
means players can see who made what mod and choose to trust individual
developers. The cost of signing up makes sure only serious developers
have access to this certificate.
mod 作者可以在自己編寫的 mod 內加入獨一無二的電子簽證，這是方便其他玩家

能知道這 mod 是來自那個作者。

The rules of the license deal will contain:

* Mods must only be playable by people who have bought Minecraft
Mods 只能運行在已購買 Minecraft 的用戶
* You can't sell your mods or make money off them unless you've got a
separate license deal with us
Mods 的作者在沒有作者許可的情況下，不可出售自己編寫的 Mods
* The mods must not be malicious (obviously)
Mods 作者不得在知情的情況下加入惡性程式至 Mods 內
* We retain the right to use your mod idea and implement it ourselves
in Minecraft. This is to prevent the situation where we have to avoid
adding a feature just because there's a mod out there that does
something similar. It's also great for dealing with bug fixes provided
by the community.
官方保留最終 mod 的加入權利

In the long term, we hope this means people will do awesome new things
with the Minecraft engine and play around with it. We want to buy
and/or license good mods and/or total conversions and sell them
ourselves. It's possible we might have a mod marketplace for selling
and buying mods that fans have written, or we might purchase and
integrate nice mods that fit the main theme of Minecraft.
以上大意應該是 mod 會收費或會把各個有用的 mod 整合再推出在新版本 minecraft 內

[edit:]
Just to clear up two things:
The access cost won't be prohibitively expensive, and if you make a good mod

or something else based on the source code, it's highly likely we will want to license it.
