Minecraft: Java Edition has been obfuscated since its release. This obfuscation meant that people couldn’t see our source code. Instead, everything was scrambled – and those who wanted to mod Java Edition had to try and piece together what every class and function in the code did.

Modding is at the heart of Java Edition – and obfuscation makes modding harder. We’re excited about this change to remove obfuscation, as it should make it quicker and easier for modders to create and improve mods. Now you won’t have to untangle tricky code or deal with unclear names. What’s more, de-bugging will become more straightforward, and crash logs will actually be readable!

surprisingly fantastic and consumer friendly move from mojang, good on them

    The MultiMC dev came out as a raging anti LGBT, right? That’s why it was forked into Prism (hence the name “Prism”)

    Man… there’s been a lot of drama in the MC modding scene.

    EDIT:

    As pointed out, this is wrong. MultiMC was involved in a separate controversy over distribution, and PolyMC had a dev kick most of the main ones out of the repo, and bigotry was involved in the later.

      You’re thinking of PolyMC, where one of the devs went on a powertrip and kicked all other devs out. The devs of that then went to make Prism. PolyMC splitting off from MultiMC was a whole other mess.
