With Mojang’s announcement that the future of Minecraft doesn’t include obfuscated code, we’re making some changes to help Quilt move into the new era of modding. Goodbye, Quilt Mappings.
QFAPI is out now for 1.20.6 and 1.21. However, the version of QSL (the Quilt-only tools we provide developers) bundled in these versions is much smaller than before, and currently only contains the qsl_base and crash_info modules. More APIs will be reintroduced to QSL as time goes on. This means that mods written using Quilt Standard Libraries may need extra work to be ported to 1.20.6 and beyond, while Fabric mods for these versions will work fine. Additionally, delays on updating to new versions should be significantly shorter in the future.
Welcome back to the blog, quilters. It’s been three months since the last time I wrote up one of these big update posts, three months since you skipped to the parts you cared about without reading my whole post, and one month since Eminem released a new Slim Shady song and took away my chance to start this post with a “guess who’s back” joke. Which is fine. I’m not mad. Not even a little. Let’s see what happened with Quilt in the last few months!
