Obfuscate mod

[Degubi]

Is there a way to obfuscate my mod? Because it's on a server and I don'd want anybody to use my code... I've read about the Proguard, but I can't make it to work.. Ui: Sorry about the bad English...

Good to know, thanks..

Like diesieben07 mentions, obfuscation only really prevents people from casually copying your work, but dedicated effort can often still figure it out.  So unless your mod is so good that you expect people to copy it in ways that you don't want, probably not worth the effort.

 

However, obfuscation really just means "make it hard for human to read".  You can actually manually obfuscate with just a couple hours work if you really wanted to:

- delete all comments

- find and replace all class, field and method names with something "random"

 

That goes a long way to preventing someone quickly copying your code.  The downside to this is that it takes a bit of time, and you'd have to do it every time you update your mod so you'd really only want to do it if your mod was finished and unlikely to need regular updates.
