Ig that means that Fabric and forge arent enough?

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 3 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
