An upcoming update for RimWorld changes its engine from Unity to the devs' in-house Waylith Engine, speeding the game up without breaking community mods.
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.
In 2019, not last year. In 2019 they started releasing deobfuscation mappings so that any modder can get the deobfuscated code if they want by applying the mappings. That was the big change. Last year they stopped obfuscating the code in the first place, but that didn’t change anything, just removed a simple step to modding of not having to use their mappings anymore.
Way to show how it is done. If only Notch could have updated MC just fucking once without breaking every mod everytime.

Mødding, automatically read that with a heavy swedish accent. Thanks 😂
Swedish doesn’t have that letter.
That’s the Danes
