Updating Mods For Minecraft 1.9 Should Be “Less Painful”

4.8
Michael Stoyke, one of Mojang’s PC programmers, has take to Twitter to reassure modders that updating their mods from Minecraft version 1.8 to the new 1.9 will be “less painful”. It means anyone optimising mods for the current 1.8 versions of Minecraft shouldn’t have to go through a terrible re-writing process when the next update is released.



So if you’re working on mod compatibility at the moment and were feeling exasperated at the idea of version 1.9, let out a sigh of relief now.

JRMH Minecraft has died in recent times. I understand it is still widely played, but it's a lot less popular than it once was. Take this, and take the percentage of Minecraft players that even KNOW code, and than take a fraction from that, people who are interested in creating mods, and this article is simply not relevant to 85%+ of ttg.

I think Minecraft died when Microsoft bought it tbh


Just because a company bought a game doesn't make the game dead. It went dead because the game itself got boring after a while.

Great, hopefully this gives some mods a chance to catch up to newer versions.

I remember looking back at some old code to new versions, this will really help mod makers!

Hopefully this will make it so the big mod packs aren't always two or three versions behind.
