3 mobs in one update? Do we look like a bunch of unpaid modders who get their work broken after every game update because of our inability to develop a modding api.

How long has it been since they promised us an official modding api?

Over 10 years, lol.

To be fair, I think the datapack/command features are being fleshed out instead of a modding API

[–] Katzastrophe@feddit.de 22 points 8 months ago

But the datapack feature is a pain in the ass if you want to do more than add funny new small feature. Overhauling entire gameplay systems, or adding new ones is really complicated and often not worth it when done through a datapack

To be fair? They're different features. Datapacks and commands can't replace a good modding API.

Just develop for 1.12.2, cant have your game broken if it doesnt update

1.16.5 is better imo, is a bit less out of date.
