Recently I feel like the time taken for a response in the Modder Support forum is slower than what it was when I first joined the forum (9 months ago), which feels odd due to the amount of views many posts get (my most recent one is currently sitting at 19.6k views with no replies; though I understand that not everyone viewing may have an account or be able to help).

I would usually get replies only a few days after originally posting, but with my most recent post I have been waiting for two weeks. I even saw a post a few days ago where someone got a reply six months after they posted. 

 

In my case, I am quite an inexperienced modder that is relying on tutorials to learn my modding. With my inexperience there are some issues, like two that I am having now where things are going wrong with my code yet my code matches perfectly with the tutorial, that I am simply clueless on and am put in quite a roadblock. The help here on the forums is excellent and I usually don't mind waiting a few days, but I would also really like to progress with my mod and release it to the public.

I am not trying to complain with this post, I am just wanting to mention something bothering me to see if anyone else is the same.

Honestly, the forums are a back burner thing. Not many people use it. Best option is discord. I know that I haven't looked at the forums for more then admin tasks in quite a while. You're also best off not following tutorials which give you code. Knowing programming and reading the MC/Forge code yourself would be the best way to go.

Online forums in general seem to be declining in popularity imo. There’s still value here for certain types of content, such as written tutorials and blog posts which would otherwise get lost in the chat history fairly quickly on Discord. Also for those that prefer the forums format ofc. But for faster support related topics, I agree that the Discord is probably your best bet at the moment.

The speed of responses is also down to the ratio of volunteers - the player support forum still seems pretty active, but the coding ones much less so. Once you’re feeling more confident in your modding skills, be the change you want to see ;)

      Forge 55.0 Minecraft 1.21.5

      By Jonathing · Posted

      Forge version: 55.0.0 Minecraft version: 1.21.5 Downloads: As this is the start of a new version, it is recommended that you check the downloads page and use the latest version to receive any bug fixes. Downloads page Intro: Good evening! Today, we have released our initial build of Forge 55.0 for Minecraft 1.21.5. 1.21.5 is the newest member of the 1.21 family of versions, which was released yesterday on March 25, 2025. As a reminder, the first minor (X.0) of a Forge version is a beta. Forge betas are marked as such on the bottom left of the title screen and are candidates for any breaking changes. Additionally, there are a couple of important things to note about this update, which I've made sure to mention in this post as well. Feel free to chat with us about bugs or these implementation changes on GitHub and in our Discord server. As always, we will continue to keep all versions of 1.21 and 1.20 in active support as covered by our tiered support policy. Cheers, happy modding, and good luck porting! Rendering Refactor For those who tuned in to Minecraft Live on March 22, 2025, you may already know that Mojang have announced their intention to bring their new Vibrant Visuals overhaul to Java in the future. They've taken the first steps toward this by refactoring how rendering pipelines and render types are handled internally. This has, in turn, made many of Forge's rendering APIs that have existed for years obsolete, as they (for the most part) can be done directly in vanilla. If there was a rendering API that was provided by Forge which you believe should be re-implemented, we're happy to discuss on GitHub through an issue or a pull request. Deprecation of weapon-like ToolActions In 1.21.5, Minecraft added new data components for defining the characteristics of weapons in data. This includes attack speed, block tags which define efficient blocks, and more. As such, we will begin marking our ToolActions solution for this as deprecated. ToolActions were originally added to address the problem of creating modded tools that needed to perform the same actions as vanilla tools. There are still a few tool actions that will continue to be used, such as the shears tool action for example. There are some existing Forge tool actions that are currently obsolete and have no effect given the way the new data components are implemented. We will continue to work on these deprecations and invite you to chat with us on GitHub or Discord if you have any questions.

      Ore to nuggets and ore rarity mod

      By sailed · Posted

      In summary, a full mod to adjust mining progress in such a specific way does not yet exist in its exact form, but it is possible to find mods that change certain aspects of progression (e.g. "Harder Ores").
