Background
I created a mod for minecraft using Minecraft Forge which uses "other" mod. I have the permission from author of the "other" mod to use and distribute his code with my code.
Right now, my LICENSE.md
file looks something like that:
# License
This project uses portion of code from ["other" mod](https://github.com/author/mod)
[licensed](https://github.com/author/mod/blob/master/licence.md) under GPL.

The question isn't about "how I license the MIT licensed code with code under GPLv3?", rather it's "how can I apply limitation on this kind of combination of licenses?"
The question
I use MIT license for now, but for future releases I want to change the license that will apply some limitation on the source code, regarding distribution of my mod.
I want to limit following:
- Including my mod in the mod packs without my permission or link to the website (where I distribute my mod)
- Distributing my mod on mod catalog websites without my permission
Should I switch to another license (which one then?), or add additional lines to the original MIT license (and how can I do it)?
Let me know if I don't understand something about licensing and, thank you for your attention! :)
