Ig that means that Fabric and forge arent enough?

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They aren't part of the game. The developers of forge and fabric have to wait until a new version of Minecraft gets released then reverse engineer it to make everything work. If there is a big update, it takes a lot of time.

They stopped obfuscating the code so I imagine it's a bit easier for mod framework devs now: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/removing-obfuscation-in-java-edition

It's still not a modding API though so it'll always take some work when the game updates

It's mostly symbolic, Mojang was releasing deobfuscation mapping files anyway, so anyone could reverse the obfuscation. Now they just don't obfuscate in the first place. It doesn't make much difference, just removes a small chore to modding.
