Plugins or Mods ?

With Forge, am I making plugins or mods ? Bukkit was allowing me to make plugins. Forge 1.6.4 allowed to change the original source code and so my impression that these were mods. Now with Forge 1.7.10, separate files are created that sits on the top of the existing source code.

 

http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Mods/Creating_mods does not use the plugin terminology.

 

Are thees plugins or mods ? What is the correct terminology ? :)

    You are still making mods with Forge, but you can't modify the vanilla minecraft source code.

    Don't PM me with questions. They will be ignored! Make a thread on the appropriate board for support.

    1.7.10 and older versions of Minecraft are no longer supported due to it's age! Update to the latest version for support.

    Isn't mod implicitly means modifying vanilla Minecraft source code ? This is counter intuitive otherwise.

    Yes, that's how I understand as well.

     

    So help me understand the difference between mods and plugins then ?

    Plugins are mods, and forge mods are plugins. The difference between FML mods and Bukkit plugins is that FML mods can access the Minecraft source code.

    Check out my mod, Realms of Chaos, here.

    Mods.

     

    To be honest I don't think most people will really care much :)
