This does sound like some faint semblance of official support for java modders?

Which is shocking tbh. I think every java private server admin has nightmares where they wake up one day and read that java minecraft is being discontinued...

If that happened I have a feeling Minecraft would fork with an open source rewrite taking over on the java side.

    More likely most will just stick to their binaries for the latest version. Most MC players I know want to play the game not hack it.

    And mod developers would heave a sigh of relief. The version treadmill is the hardest part of maintaining a mod; everything bitrots.

      You don't need to maintain anything if it don't exist, like mods support in bedrock edition

    I mean, Bedrock/Java are already pretty thoroughly forked?

      No one who plays on private servers cares about bedrock. There are just too many helper plugins on Java.

      And I don’t think bedrock is a fork, more like a reimplementation. Too many subtle differences.
