I was reading some post on the minecraft forums last night and there were some post about the plugin API and whether it exists or will ever exist. But that is not the point of this.

 

I am aware that Mojang run retroguard over their code to make it harder to understand, my guess is that is to protect commercial interests in game. I know forge uses the mcp system to decompile and deobfuscate the code back into a somewhat readable form.

 

But what I am wondering is whether Mojang takes any active steps in preventing forge from working? Or is it the opposite?

 

I heard some conspiracy theory somewhere that the reason Mojang hired Searge was to disrupt modding. Personally I see that as complete bull but I wanted to see what you guys say about that.

Really you want to start a conspiracy thread? Really?

Yes they do some shit that makes it a PITA on me every update.

But I take it with the hope that they are working to make the game better code wise so that sometime in the future it'll be easier on me.

But we'll see.. but please don't go into any conspiracy things.

No no. I am not trying to start a conspiracy thread. I was just stating that a few have formed on the curse based minecraft forums. I personally took some humor to them. I was curious if Mojang was "playing nice".

 

Your answer pretty much sums it up perfectly.

I don't think they want to Stop Forge after half Minecon was based on Modded Minecraft.
