Mojang just announced that they're deobfuscating MInecraft's code to make it readable, this makes modding much faster! As one does, I was wondering from someone more knowledgable, how does this affect MCreator itself?
I would guess that this will speed up minecraft version support substantially and potentially open a lot of doors for things previously thought impossible.
The MCreator team isn't the ones deobfuscating, so it'd change nothing for them.
Minecraft modding has been done on deobfuscated code since the beginning, so it's not like we've been spending hours figuring out what a single method is called and does..
And if Mojang's previous "Modding help" is anything to go off of they're probably going to license this new unobfuscated code under a very restrictive license, and all the major mod loaders will just continue using their own mappings.
This will not affect performance, but workspace setup times will be faster for modding APIs such as NeoForge. Mixins will also be easier in some cases
