Similar thing here. I once went to a Minecraft mod dev’s discord to ask if there was a way to center the health bars that come with his mod. He basically said “you’re the only person who has ever asked for this, everyone else just puts it in a corner of their screen”. I feel centering is a basic feature of any adjustable UI element!
I kinda get it, mod authors (and FOSS devs) often get a lot of requests for something they’re doing in their free time without pay. If they already have a backlog, they have to be picky about what tasks they take on, and they can get a bit snippy when overwhelmed with requests (or questions that might turn into one). That being said, there’s no reason to be rude.
He wasn’t actually too rude about it luckily, but what I found funny is that his mod was a very basic one with a lot of competitors doing pretty much the exact same thing, and ALL of them had centering options. Maybe he just didn’t see those mods? Idk.
