Meet the new forge, same as the old forge. Forge has been forked, with the majority of forge’s developers moving over to the fork, NeoForge. They hope to implement some major improvements come 1.21 and maintain compatibility with Forge mods on 1.20.
We now have four main players: Quilt, Fabric, Forge and NeoForge
Please lets not make a compatibility nightmare.
Pretty sure Forge is dead in the water. The majority of devs left for NeoForge, and it’s likely the majority of moddevs will follow.
Forge and NeoForge probably won’t be a problem since they’re designing it to be fully compatible with old Forge and also pulled most developers away from old Forge in the process. Never heard of Quilt before though and can’t find too much info on it, are there any big mods for it?
This is the part where it made it doubt. Sounds like they are supporting 1.20 Forge mods only.
Quilt is based on Fabric. While currently supporting Fabric mods, at the start they were actually not planning on keeping this compatibility. I don’t know now.
There are a couple of Quilt modpacks, but most mods in them are for Fabric still. I don’t think there are too many mods for Quilt yet.
@SSUPII @Astrealix oh we will and by we I mean the devs its already kind of a nightmare
I really hate that there is multiple mod loaders now. It would be fine if they were compatible with each other or atleast somehow allow multiple mod loaders to work together.
But for now all those fancy fabric and quilt mods will just be left in the dust for me. Way to many forge mods for me to want to ditch forge.
There have always been multiple mod loaders, and Fabric isn’t even a new one by now.
With anything past Minecraft 1.16, Forge has actually drastically reduced in popularity.
