Change mod version

[luck_cot]

I have someone else's mod on version 1.16. Forge 36 version. Is it possible to migrate it to version 1.18.2 with forge 40. It seems to me that the difference between them should not be too big. If it is possible to transfer, then how can it be done? What programs will be required, or is it possible to do it using a text editor. I will be grateful for your help.

If you have the necessary permissions to transform the mod, you would need the Java JDK 17 (preferably Adoptium) and an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ for sanity. The rest is just programming experience and understanding how to make a mod, to which there are some docs and the vanilla source you can view to help you out.
