Minecraft modding → Minecraft mod – Minecraft mod is more natural, and suggests that the topic is about mods themselves, rather than the current title, which suggests a practice or activity of modding (e.g. running). SWinxy (talk) 03:34, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
- Neutral. Either is fine. Yes, 'mod' suggests it is about specific mods while 'modding' suggests the general practice, but which one should the article be about? Nixinova T C 03:40, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Move followed the move of the similar Doom modding RM. The article is not about "a" specific Minecraft mod. It's about the modding of Minecraft. A great deal of the article covers the activity/practice. It's not about specific mods in the main. For anyone judging by the lead, it's outdated and not in synch really with the article content. -- ferret (talk) 03:44, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Article is indeed about the practice of modding Minecraft, contrary to the assertion stated by the nom, so the current title is correct. Consistent with other articles like Skyrim modding etc.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:39, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose The article is primarily about the topic of modding and should remain as such. Renaming it to "mod" or "mods" implies we want to primarily talk about mods themselves, which we really don't here. The sourcing has already deteriorated greatly with tons of unsourced and poorly sourced details about individual mods. A general reader does not care what individual mods are, but what they do, which is best described as a whole. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 10:43, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose - Per previous opposition. I would also note that "Minecraft mod" could quite easily be understood as being an article about someone who moderates Minecraft servers. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 12:08, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per above --Spekkios (talk) 22:21, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
