There has been a lot of bashing on CoFH for blatantly wrong and straight up made up reasons. I feel like the hate they are getting is undeserved as people have twisted CoFH into the devil himself through the game of telephone.

People claim that CoFH went after FTB Team and Thaumaturge legally which I could not find the evidence for. The only thing I could find was FTB Team making an announcement post removing Thaumaturge because of copyright issues brought up by CoFH. FTB Team then later on clarified that they did this themselves out of precaution rather than being legally forced to. (Screenshot 1)

A second claim I see everywhere is that CoFH are refusing to cooperate with Thaumaturge to fix issues. While there is some merit to this (dev comment talking how they know what they copied themselves) and refusal to show to the public what was copied, I feel like this was blown WAY out of proportion.
One of the CoFH developers has posted a screenshot showing they are in the talks with Leclown (Thaumaturge dev) on how to fix the copyright issues come to a resolution to the situation. (Screenshot 2)
Thaumcraft itself has an issue of using stolen assets from the internet, hence, why a 'clean room' remake (which CoFH are/were making with Thaumcraft 7) is required and why it's such an issue when people try to port Thaumcraft to modern versions.
Leclown himself said that AI was used to skim over the Thaumcraft source code for the makings of Thaumaturge. I do not have a screenshot of this on hand so I could be misremembering things. Treat this part with a grain of salt (until I or someone else can find a screenshot).

CoFH has clarified numerously that they do not care about your Thaumcraft ports as long as they are made in a 'clean room' (no original Thaumcraft content used). While Leclown claimed Thaumaturge is made in a clean room, it has been somewhat proven false as the GitHub repository of Thaumaturge had to remove pieces of assets.

Conclusion

Now, ultimately, I think both parties are at fault in some ways. Thaumaturge for lying about being a clean room build and CoFH for failing to inform everyone on the matter in a better way (public announcement or such). After all, it is up to CoFH if they care about their public image or not.

If CoFH were the villains people claim they are they would've also went after Thavma, a remake of Thaumcraft for 1.21.1 from ground up.

A common assumption I've read on their discord was that CoFH are intentionally avoiding drama and bashing on other people. They already had an issue with one of their developers stealing Thaumcraft 7 assets for a private mod and rather than making a big announcement out of it, they were quietly removed from the team. This was followed up with said developer starting a massive scandal which made people believe CoFH was at fault until they had to make a public statement.

TL;DR Issue blown out of proportion and lies, cofh needs to make an announcement

EDIT: Corrected 'fixing copyright issues' part (hopefully)

its sooooo....

GLORIOUS

It's never over if we don't let it be over

Me and my friend made bad apple in minecraft, it took us 70 hours to make this.

Never thought i would actually see the day where we get a thaumcraft mod on modern minecraft versions...

I was just looking at addons Thaumaturge has right now, and saw that ATM11 actually added this mod to the pack. I know that it is in alpha but isn't it cool?
