reliable as in, risu can provide an api that doesn't break everyone else's. "just use 7zip" is not a practical solution to those who are not just working with their own mods, it's not humanly possible to keep track of dozens of mods and versions for the same build, patching only through zip. so maybe the forge team can accept the fact that people need mod managers, instead of telling everyone that they are all evil and will break forge? take a more pragmatic approach with this, please. especially in the case of mcpatcher. it's patently false what you constantly spread about it, this app is actually the same as zip patching if you don't use any of the sideloading options, only difference being there is a nice xml db with profiles to work with. I find this behavior very irritating as well, there are mod archives in my .minecraft dir that are nowhere near the mods folder, which forge still insist on recursing through and loading. if you have a good reason to do that, fine. just don't load mods that are not in designated mod dirs. this also makes going through logs a real pain as well, maybe a less verbose option to exclude this process?
