    Hello peeps. This is probably going to be a long, and deep post so grab your chairs.

    As some of you may know, i have a wynncraft modpack, called wynnercraft. It got a very nice wind of people coming in, and trying it out, because its the only wynncraft modpack that increases fps and performance instead of adding fancy leaves or a custom main menu. There are a lot of modpacks out there that do the latter. One of these modpacks is VeeeKoon's "Raiju's wynncraft modpack". It didnt have a lot of downloads, nor popularity, so the modpack owner wanted to make it more popular.... by copying another, better performing modpacks mods. Guess what modpack that is. Its my Wynnercraft modpack. Im now going to present some evidence. I am going to compare my second latest build (my latest just added a resource pack and updated journeymap) and VeeeKoon's latest, and second to latest builds.
    My relevant build: upload_2020-3-19_11-37-8.png
    VeeKoon's build, before i uploaded the first ever build to my pack: upload_2020-3-19_11-41-3.png
    His build, uploaded on march 5th, after i have uploaded my main file for 1.19: upload_2020-3-19_11-43-27.png
    So as you have probably figured out, his newest build has a bit more mods that before that. Now let me show you the last picture without his cosmetic mods: upload_2020-3-19_11-46-6.png
    As you can see, it has exactly the same mods as mine. And mine was uploaded earlier. Much earlier. Coincidence? I think not.
    Now this is not all. Let me show you some more stuff. So after i found this, i was wondering... he may have copied my configs... nah.. nobody would be that much of a jerk.... maybe.... ok. I downloaded his modpack, looked at the configs, and what did i find? His configs were exactly the same as mine (these were not default configs, mind you, im not an idiot, i changed these in like january with my 1.2build). So you are going to have to trust me now, because im going show you some stuff that could be manipulated. If you dont believe me, then download both packs and compare them, and then you are going to believe me.
    These are the "wynnforge.cfg" files. I tinkered a lot with these, because i didnt want to have duplicate features from wynn mods (wynnforge, wynntils).

    Now i am going to show you foamfix's configs. Especially the experimantal configs, because those are always disabled by default. upload_2020-3-19_12-6-49.png
    Hmm.. very weird... the configs are the same again.... im going to remind you that these are not default configs!
    upload_2020-3-19_12-13-19.png
    Ok, thats enough, i think. If you dont believe me, download the packs, and you'll see!
    (also, im using notepad because it works better in small windows, i usually use visual code studio for configs)
    Next, lets head into minecraft. I wont post side-by-sides here bc my poor potato probably couldnt handle it. So you will have to look into my modpack to see the similarities.
    So, i opened his modpack. cancer Look at the overlay config:
    upload_2020-3-19_12-33-39.png
    I have seen this before... in my modpack.
    Now i would screenshot every page of the wynntils settings but you probably know what would happen. All the settings would be the same as in my modpack.
    Next order of business: JourneyMap: upload_2020-3-19_12-35-36.png
    Although he atleast didnt copy my config here, bc this mod was in his pack originally, none of his default settings are compliant with the wynncraft rules. So im going to close this instance before i get banned.
    Also before i summarize things: In the beginning i compared my 2nd to latest build with his two, because i only added a resource pack in that latest build, and updated a mod. It would not be fair for me if i would have compared that with his, because that one was released like 2days later than his latest.
    Summary: He stole my config files, he copied all my mods, and the only that he didnt manage to copy... is against the the wynncraft rules.
    -Thanks for reading, FadeDave
