I really cannot comprehend how Minecraft collected such a mod base while also being this unbearable.
So many players just end up playing old versions because mod developers cannot reliably keep up with this nonsense. The last version to have decent mod support is probably 1.21.1, and there are so many mods dead after 1.7.10, 1.6.4, or even earlier.
Some of the mods, like Better than Wolves, have it literally in their name.
It's pretty simple: Notch was never a great coder and the game never had any mod support or APIs. He didn't support the idea of mødding the game at all.
Modders literally have to decompile and reverse engineer most of the game to add mods. Only last year did they remove obfuscation so the community didn't have to make up their own naming for everything.
Mødding, automatically read that with a heavy swedish accent. Thanks 😂
Swedish doesn't have that letter.
I know, but they sure sound like they got the letter.
That's the Danes
And norway-ians
Oops, written from mobile. Gonna leave it
I developed a mod until a year or so ago. Updates just come out too fast for it to be worth my time. If I want to fix one bug I have to apply it to 5 different game versions
