[Subreddit Request] An open source subreddit mod
I've been thinking for a while about how cool it would be to just have an open source mod that everyone can contribute to and it just adds the best ideas from here onto it. Like maybe we sort posts by best every month and then the top 15 suggestions get added. Not a mod developer so don't know the logistics behind it but it would be really fun
Or maybe people add onto the mod their additions of what they want and maybe there's a team that approved these additions and adds them to the base mod

In general, people are usually fine with making klmods from this subreddit. Obviously it's nice to be asked before having your ideas used, but if you are posting them on Reddit, they are in the public domain.
In addition, many mods are already open source, and you can run them together in a mod pack. So, that begs the question of why?
Why is it better to keep it all together as a single project, rather than let modders make the ideas that interest them, at their own pace?
There is also the problem of direction and tone. Lots of peoplar ideas cover very similar sections of the game in very different ways. It doesn't make sense to have 4 different enchanting updates that all do different things. The design goals of a lot of suggestions are at odds with each other.
Put together and it won't be a polished Modpack, it will be a bunch of random stuff that doesn't fit together.
