🎮 Microsoft Eliminates Code Obfuscation from Minecraft Java Edition, Transforming Modding Landscape

Microsoft is removing code obfuscation from Minecraft: Java Edition, ending a long-standing practice that made source code unreadable for modders. The change eliminates the need for obfuscation mappings and enables faster, more intuitive mod development with readable source code. Microsoft will provide parallel obfuscated and unobfuscated versions during transition, with the first official unobfuscated snapshot arriving after the Mounts of Mayhem update.
