This has been updated for Booster Pack #5 in case anyone subscribed is still interested.

This game is pretty much supposed to have overpowered items, that's what makes it fun. Getting overpowered items is what makes the game unique and makes your runs very different

I would appreciate it. I doubt I'd use a mod like that myself, but I'd appreciate being mentioned.

Fair enough, I didn't think about this mod in particular when I made the request. Your mod is only .xml I believe, which isn't always licensed the same as code, and you don't own the original xml file yourself.

I personally just make a habit of putting all my code under a free license and didn't think about mods that aren't code.

Anyway, if I were to adapt your item pools and write a mod around it, would you mind me linking people to here for the item pool related stuff? I'm thinking of a mod idea that stops both overpowered "trainwreck" runs from occurring by giving you better items when you have bad items and visi-versa.

Fine, I re-added a different statement. This one should be permissive enough.

Because I feel ridiculous giving a license agreement to what's technically nothing more than a configuration file. There's no case for my ownership of anything because there isn't any original content. And even if I did care about somebody reusing it without my permission, there wouldn't be any way I could prove that the files they used were from here. It's just too much meaningless overcomplication of the issue. Believe me, if I were in any position of caring about what potentially could happen to this mod, I wouldn't be putting it on Workshop.

Mod now has a license file and notice in case it's necessary for anything.

It's just a replacement for the item pools list file. It's a public markup file, anyone can do anything they want with it.
If I start editing other things and the mod gets more complex, then formal version control will become a lot more important, but right now there probably isn't much point.

I've only had one run with this mod installed, so I can't make any strong judgments, but it was not at all a bad run (Judas leading to Mom's Knife from a Devil's Deal after picking up a good familiar in the Angel Room). I saw the Black Candle in a Devil's Deal - didn't take it, but heavily considered it. Definitely going to keep playing with it.

Yeah, I probably should've done that first. There's now a spoilers file in the mod folder that lists all changes.

Can you give specific changes? I would like to to know what the changes are beforehand, since I'll unlikely find all changes even if I played for a long time.
