Intro:

Today, we release our second recommended build for 1.20.6. Even while not being the poster boy of the 1.20 era, Forge 50 was the target of many enhancements to Forge as a whole which have benefited versions that have come before and will come after. Additionally, it has continued to receive several updates that keep it in a good state. This new build of contains a handful of backported convenience features for modders, but also contains many cleanups and bugfixes as well.

As the 1.21 lifecycle of Minecraft continues to stabilize, we will continue to maintain active support for the 1.20 versions of the game as described by our tiered support system. This means that until Minecraft 1.22 is released, we will continue to make 1.20 a target for backports, bug fixes, and applicable new features.

New:

• Change tick event to have pre/post classes (#9890)
• Make HangingSignBlockEntity useable with custom BlockEntityTypes (#10038)
• Fire `OnDatapackSyncEvent` when a player joins a server (#10077, #10172)
• Optionally supply FMLJavaModLoadingContext as a param to mod constructors, backport of #10074 (#10083)
  • Before:

    public MyMod() {
        // getting the mod bus - uses FMLJavaModLoadingContext
        var modBus = FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus();
     
        // registering configs - uses ModLoadingContext
        ModLoadingContext.get().registerConfig(/* ... */);
        // ...
    }

  • After:

    public MyMod(FMLJavaModLoadingContext context) {
        // getting the mod bus
        var modBus = context.getModEventBus();
    
        // registering configs
        context.registerConfig(/* ... */);
        // ...
    }
