Posted November 1, 201410 yr Hi, I haven't modded/played Minecraft for some time and I wanted to update my mods again. I went on forge and noticed there were no version after 1.7.2 - Can someone quickly fresh my up on what happened and are my 172 mods compatible with 18 Minecraft versions etcetera? Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I looked around, I swear on mi mum.
November 1, 201410 yr Author There is forge for 1.7.10. Forge for 1.8 is still in development. Alrighty thanks. What about the compatibility? Will my 172 and 171 mods be compatible with 1.8 or not?
November 2, 201410 yr No, they won't. The changes between major MC versions are too big to make mods work cross-version. 1.7.2 mods usually work on 1.7.10, though. Usually, but not always. Check each mod's forum thread (or wherever you got it) and see if they have known issues. For example, I know that Mystcraft is not compatible with 1.7.10 (well, it is now, there was an update) due to using other dimensions. Basically, everything was fine unless you went into a Mystcraft age, then it shat the bed. Or if you have a bunch and don't want to check them all individually, back up your save before trying 1.7.10. If something goes pear shaped, at least you have a backup. Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
