Mthe bukkit api is basically isolated from minecraft's actual internals
Pstill up on GitHub too
Mwhat is
PBukkits API
Myeah it's not illegal
Mthey made some weird deal with mojang
PSo CraftBukkit is illegal
Pbut regular Bukkit isn’t
Mcraftbukkit nowadays works the same way forge mdk does, decompiles your server and patches it
Pbut regular Bukkit is just an API contract and isn’t an implementation
KI hate that like... everything involving minecraft and modding is weirdly illegal in some way
Mmodding is on a super thin strand of legality
Awhy does minecraft have like 100 different mod managers
Mdrama
Mand legacy reasons
Lthe minecraft modding community is a complete and utter disaster in every conceivable way
Mbukkit came before forge
Pit wasn’t illegal until some major contributor didn’t know that Mojang bought the entire Bukkit team out and they subsequently decided to pull the rights to their code
Kthey did wh0t
Myeah they hired everyone
Aidk, the only mod i have ever used is optifine and even then that's a recent thing
from what i have seen though yeah modding looks horrible both to use and to develop
from what i have seen though yeah modding looks horrible both to use and to develop
Mthe optifine dev is also a real scumbag
Loptifine is old
Astill seems to be updated tho?
Lyes
Lbut yes, optifine dev is bad
Moptifine used to be called optimine in the beta days
Pbut yeah Bukkit and Spigot are totally in violation of the DMCA act, there’s a reason they’ve got their own stash instance hosted on Romanian servers
KI love that basically every single "optifine makes this mod crash" gets a borderline autoresponse of "lol idc"
KFrom the optifine dev
Mi actually had optifine on my beta 1.7.3 instance because it fixes some GPU support issues
Ahow is the optifine dev bad lol
PI had a laptop that I absolutely had to sue optifine on for MC to even have sensible frame rates
Mit's really hard to make an "optimization mod" that isn't incompatible with like all other mods
Tsuspicious, i don't recall optifine doing anything magical in b1.7.3
Pfun fact: when .NET 5 was originally announced they promised Java interop everywhere. And when it finally released they quietly conveniently forgot they ever said anything about it haha
Lidk sodium does a quite good job
Lthe fabric side of modding is a lot more compatible when it comes to rendering mods
KWouldn't suprise me if the reason for that was Oracle being boobs again
Leven huge rendering effecting mods like create and valkryan skies 2 work fine with sodium
PHaha, I still love how they reacted to J#
Pthere’s still loads of silly features of the CLI that existed purely because of Java/J#
Plike covariant arrays
Lcommand line interface
KI'm still convinced the only reason for J# existing was cause some person was just really really like "OMG I GIVE ME THE GODDAMN UNSIGNED"
PKnobs language infrastructure
POR EVEN COMMON LANGUAGE INFRASTRUCTURE
Lyou can do unsigned in java by just using JNI to call into a better language like C or C++
Lthen writing all your code in C/C++
